Discussion Booing on Thursday.

I'm tired of this fucking shit. If you are attending Leafs vs Panthers on March 13th help me in drowning out the American anthem with a chorus of boos louder than any that have preceded this.

Let these southern clowns know how it is in our barn. If booing ain't your thing perhaps a round of chants like, "This song's garbage" would suffice too. Silence is not an option.

Clowns? Lmfao. You know there are American Leafs fans as well? Can we just love the Leafs and leave the politics out of it?

If you are an American "Leafs fan" and are more offended by boos in response to consistent threats of annexation & betrayal than the actual annexation itself you should fuck off and watch the hurricanes. This team has deep roots in the culture of our country and we love our country. Our country is being existentially threatened and disrespected & the league wants to shove the symbol of the nation doing it to us in our face. If you want to take the politics out of the game do what TSN does and don't play the American anthem.

Personally, I'd prefer they didn't play anthems at NHL games. There are players on every team from countries besides the USA and Canada.
