Canadian sports fans continued to voice their displeasure with the United States on Sunday, booing the American national anthem before an NHL game in Vancouver and an NBA tilt in Toronto. The jeers began at Rogers Arena in Vancouver as Agasha Mutesasira launched into the opening notes of the song before the Canucks faced the Detroit Red Wings. As she began to sing "O Canada," boisterous cheers rose from the crowd. There was a similar scene at Scotiabank Arena earlier in the day before the Toronto Raptors hosted the Los Angeles Clippers. Fans booed during the American anthem, then switched to loud cheers when "O Canada" began, joining the 15-year-old anthem singer for some verses of that anthem. SOURCE: REUTERSShow more
