http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/playof...ory?id=2445206Pregame anthem booing was a hot-button issue in sports shortly after the beginning of the war in Iraq, with fans in Chicago's Wrigley Field, Montreal's Bell Centre and other arenas booing their neighbors' anthem from 2002-04.
If search back a few years, you'll find a thread in the tavern about a bus full of American schoolkids being attacked in Canada (Montreal again IIRC). Not to go over the whole Iraq thing again, but tensions were high and people were at each others throats over it all. I do remember that it was Canadiens fans who did it first, in response some US fans booed Oh Canada, some cheered it.
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
Senator Augustus Verginius
