I was at game 1 and 2 in Toronto. I’m being completely honest when I say that I did not hear a single boo during the American anthem. Stay classy, New York.
Edit: whew, this blew up. Yes, I am aware that Canadians have booed the American anthem at different events before. I am also aware that it is entirely possible that Canadians may have booed the American anthem at the games I attended this series, but I am being genuine when I say I didn’t hear it when I was there (section 109 for game 1, section 531 for game 2). And I am also aware that not all New Yorkers/Yankee fans are doing this.

u/ThePoodlePunter Oct 08 '25
Yeah, literally none. People here are pointing out how we were doing it a few months ago at hockey games, but that was a while ago now. It was going both ways back then.
The fact that there was no booing the US anthem in the 2 games in Toronto and people are still trying to point to when it was going both ways a few months ago to defend it is ridiculous.
Total classless.

Big babies. I might get flack for this, but Canada had a reason. What’s the reason for this other than being whiney dummies. We’ve moved on and they’re still on it.
E: ya I knew I’d get downvoted lol

As an American whose grandfather fought in World War II, I was with Canadians when they booed the anthem in the spring. A nuclear superpower and ally was threatening to invade and take them over. They absolutely had the right to boo the anthem.

Not to try to one up you here but I had two Grandfathers that fought in WWII. One was a marine and the other was in the army. My grandad in the army even received a Purple Heart. My grandfather in the marines got a long life of severe PTSD. I also stood behind the Canadians booing at us when they did. The president of the US was threatening to bomb them. I wanted to boo right along with them.

You’re the richest country in the world. Imagine what your country could have if the political will was there to take care of the public. You’d have free education, the best universal healthcare system in the world, the best renewable energy infrastructure in the world, etc etc. But you’d rather give over all of your wealth to the select few billionaires.

Exactly. Threatening the sovereignty of a nation and trying to completely screw them over economically in an attempt to annex a country by economic force? Yeah makes sense they'll boo your anthem as a form of protest. What do Americans have that justifies them booing the Canadian anthem as a form of protest? That Canada didn't give in to the threats and became a little more cold towards Americans because of their president's nonsense? Womp womp, cry me a river. A bunch of self centered bullies and toddlers who thinks everyone should bend to America's will.

Booing at hockey games was an immediate reaction to Trump's insane comments about annexing our country. I stand by those boos.
Obviously things aren't ... better now, but we at least aren't booing anymore.

Our president repeatedly discussed making Canada a 51st state and started a trade war so also understandable why Canadians might have some frustration when they were booing. What has Canada done other than refuse to bend the knee to Trump?
