Is booing the US national anthem at Canadian sporting events crossing a line, or is it a legitimate form of protest? This weekend saw fans at Raptors and Canucks games booing the Star Spangled Banner, seemingly in response to US tariff threats. Where do you stand on this? Is this an appropriate way to express displeasure with political decisions, or does it disrespect the anthem and the country it represents? Does this action ultimately help or hurt the cause it aims to support? Let's discuss the effectiveness and appropriateness of this form of protest. What other ways could fans express their opinions without potentially alienating others or detracting from the sporting event itself? I predict we'll see more of this as international tensions rise. What's your take?
