How do you feel about the crowd booing the National Anthem?

[PoP]

I may feel a little guilty to ask this but, what do you feel about the crowd at the sport event like hockey for example booing the National Anthem? To me, I find them very disrespectful to the National Anthems, like the fans in Montreal, they booed the US Anthem everytime the Bruins play against them,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2qFfuLy_fs&feature=related and the fans in St. Louis booed the Canadian Anthem,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlHNOq8k46A&feature=related, don't you find it disrespectful?

I as a hockey fan from Canada, never once booed the American Anthem, ever, period. I mean listen to the fans in Boston and Philadelphia,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAdG-jP8bdE&feature=related they never booed the Canadian anthem and I'm happy that they didn't, mainly Boston that is, they show decent amount of respect to Canadians. Don Cherry said that Boston showed too much class on this clip herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TxpxFqAV4I&feature=related.

Do you think the crowd who booed should show decent amount of respect the next time? Let's hope so.

are you saying Philly fans booed? lol..cus i've been hearing a lot notorious about Philly fans. but that wouldn't be the case here, i guess, cus Philly isn't playing any Canadian teams, currently..

i think it's not a good idea to boo. cus, it'll just stir animosity between countries that we don't need, at this time. it is disrespectful.

I think the U.S. needs to curb its enthusiasm when it comes to patriotism.

I think hockey isn't meant to be a venue where fans are expected to be perfectly classy. It's a rowdy atmosphere. Booing the other country's anthem can be part of the fun.

I'm not saying the the Philly fans booed, I said was the fans there respected and love the Canadian Anthem. Yes they're not playing the Canadian teams now, they're playing against my team the Boston Bruins.
