Streisand Effect: the PSA

It, uh, didn't work.

It’s Montreal. They’re never gonna be nice.

violanorth.bsky.social•14 days ago

This is just one reason why it's my favorite city.

brynhughes.bsky.social•14 days ago

Dude has a great voice tho

musiciankate.bsky.social•14 days ago

The choice of singer was clearly meant to discourage boos.

bob4956.bsky.social•14 days ago

Said the same thing. How can you boo a Canadian military man singing.
Well, they did.

lol as if it would

brynhughes.bsky.social•14 days ago

They did it at the other games too.

violanorth.bsky.social•14 days ago

ESPN focusing in on a row of Americans holding a huge flag up and talking to each other during the anthem, which feels about right.

I won my five dollar bet.. always bet on the Mouse to suck..

They have been booing since trump started his 51 state bs, and I don’t blame Canada at all.

violanorth.bsky.social•14 days ago

Quick question, why did you think it was necessary to explain the booing to two obvious hockey fans who both live in North America?

brynhughes.bsky.social•14 days ago

I mean, I’ve been tweeting about it for like 5 days too

2muchjoy.bsky.social•14 days ago

Not trying to insult your hockey iq, just the thread seemed to imply this was a new thing.

Enjoy the game.

I'm not surprised they did. What surprised me more was the Montreal fans belting the ENGLISH part of the Canadian national anthem, not just the French part. [The whole thing exists in various languages but one verse in each official language is usual.]

hallichuck.bsky.social•14 days ago

Bilingual version is nice. Toronto should try it sometime…

Why not Canada is a free country, the US no longer is.

Probably the Americans booing at this point

bfleege.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yeah about half of us are just as pissed as the rest of the world

winterpancake.bsky.social•14 days ago

Boo every national anthem!

They booed Michelle Kwon

violanorth.bsky.social•13 days ago

They didn't. They booed the US team, which she happened to be announcing.

cupecoy4me.bsky.social•13 days ago

I watched it - yes she was introducing them but they were booing as soon as her name was spoken. She was taken aback

violanorth.bsky.social•13 days ago

She didn't look very taken aback to me. There's no way she didn't know it was going to happen.

“Ah, for Pete’s sake… if you were thinking of booing during the US anthem, please don’t do it. Definitely do not boo. And please don’t shout “FUCK TRUMP” repeatedly and then moon the US flag, eh? Whatever you do, DO NOT do that. Sorry. Thank you, sorry.”
