Trump turmoil in Canada! Fans boo US anthem
The tense political relationship with the USA has been clearly noticeable in the Canadian arenas of the major North American professional leagues since the weekend. The US anthem is now being booed by many fans!
Following the punitive tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump on Canada, among others, the obligatory US anthem sung before the home teams' games against teams from the neighboring country was booed by many fans.
Shouts of booing could be heard in Toronto, for example, during the Raptors' basketball game against the Los Angeles Clippers (115:108). The Raptors, with Jakob Pöltl from Vienna, are the only Canadian team in the NBA. Seven Canadian ice hockey teams play in the NHL. The US anthem was booed in Vancouver, for example, during the Canucks' game against the Detroit Red Wings with Carinthian Marco Kasper (2:3).
