“It’s a bit bad that it is in the terrible land of Canada that our national anthem has spoken to start this whole thing,” McAfee shouted at the temporary employment table.
Toronto’s Booing from the national anthem comes a week after hockey fans from both countries have spoken each other’s people’s songs.
During the 4 countries of the NHL’s Face-Off Exhibition Tournament on 12-20 February, fans in Canada issued the American national anthem, while in the US fans held up the Canadian national anthem prior to several games.
It started on February 13, when Canadian fans in Montreal held the American national anthem after President Donald Trump’s recent threats to impose rates on Canada, while the country also suggests that the country should become the 51st state of America.
The Booing led to a flurry of fights between Canadian and American players in the first meeting of the tournament between the two teams 15 February. The US won that match 3-1.
The Canadian national anthem was then booed in TD Garden in Boston for a game of 4 nations between Canada and Finland.
The US and Canada then met in the final 20 February, and American fans in Boston again fascinated the Canadian national anthem, albeit with a lighter tone. Canada won the game in the extension, 3-2.
Since then, the hostile rhetoric between the two countries, including sport, has only escalated.
Canadian men’s football coach Jesse Marsch shot Trump for his “51st state” remarks and called them “Wednesday” offensive “.
During Concacaf Nations League Media Day on Wednesday, Marsch did not stop his opinion about Trump’s comments and said he “ashamed” about how Canada was insulted by the president.
“If I have one message to our president, the ridiculous rhetoric is fired over Canada, who is the 51st state,” said Marsch. “As American, I am ashamed of the arrogance and the contempt that we have shown one of our historic oldest, strongest and most loyal allies. But one thing is certain, if I look out in a month, this will feed our team. The mentality we have, the will we have to play for our country.”
NHL legend Wayne Gretzky was also criticized by colleague cars for his apparent support for Trump.

Trump recently said he asked Gretzky to become the next “Governor of Canada” after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that he would resign.
But after Gretzky had expressed support for “Canada who remained a separate country, instead of becoming a cherished and beautiful 51st state”, Trump declared Gretzky a ‘free agent’.
That led to hockey legend Bobby ORR, a fellow -Canadian, to write in the Toronto Sun That he was disappointed to read criticism about Gretzky, someone he regards as one of the ‘greatest Canadians ever’.
“How fickle people can be, when someone who has done so much time and effort is treated in Canadian hockey in such a way,” wrote Orr. “Listen, we all have our personal beliefs when they relate to things such as religion and politics. Wayne respects your right to such beliefs – why can’t you respect his?”
Janet Gretzky, the wife of Wayne, Las Orr’s Column and she responded to social media.
‘Thank you, Mr. Bobby orr. Your words mean the world for Wayne and his family, I have never met anyone who is more proud to be a Canadian and it has broken his heart to read and see the mean comments. He would do everything to make Canadians proud, with his love for hockey and his country, “” Janet wrote in an Instagram message in which she shared the ORR column.
Trump agreed on 3 February to pause rates for 30 days, which means that they will be imposed at the beginning of March. The rates imposed by Trump on Canada are a reaction to drug trafficking on the American Canadian border.
