Something that sickens my stomach...

Thumbs down Something that sickens my stomach...

last Sunday night, the Toronto Raptors were playing the Detroit Pistons in Detroit. While the Canadian national anthem played, fans throughout the stadium BOOed...

Now, also note that this was days after 4 Canadians were killed in Afghanistan in a training facility when an American bomber dropped a bomb (he just...screwed up big time) on the group of 8 or so Canadian soldiers.

This kind of thing makes me sick to my stomach...when I think of those people in Detroit, the words 'scum of the Earth' come to mind.

Now, I don't hold this against Americans or anything. I know that the majority of Americans respect and like Canada as a country in general. (As they should).

And now, I believe it was last night, at a hockey game in Vancouver, some fans were yelling during the American national anthem. This just makes things worse, and although they weren't 'BOOing', and it although it was retalitory, I still consider it completely wrong.

I just thought this should be brought up. Post your thoughts here.
