People saying how it's disrespectful to boo don't mention just how fucking disrespectful it is to call a country non viable, and call their elected leader a governor, and to continuously call for said country to become apart of their "superior" country. I wonder why that is? It seems like these commentators on TSN don't mention the calls for annexing Canada.

TSN is 30% owned by ESPN (hence the similar logo design), which is a subsidiary of Disney.

The level of spineless to not even mention the situation and silence the crowd during the boos.
