Canadian sports fans boo U.S. national anthem

Sports fans in Canada booed the American national anthem at pro sports events over the weekend.

A similar incident happened Sunday night as the Los Angeles Clippers played the Toronto Raptors.

On Saturday, the president signed a trio of executive orders, imposing 25% tariffs on Mexican and most Canadian imports and 10% on goods from China, starting Tuesday.

How did athletes react to the booing?

Clippers coach Tyronn Lue and forward Kawhi Leonard declined to comment on the situation when asked about it after the Raptors’ 115-108 win.

Chris Boucher, a forward for the Raptors, was also asked after the game about the situation and whether he’d experienced anything like that before.

“No, no, no,” the Canadian citizen and former Oregon Duck told reporters after the game. “But have you ever seen us getting taxed like that?”

Who was singing the national anthem as the crowd was booing at games?

A 15-year-old singer was initially cheered during the NBA game before she started singing and then was met with boos from the crowd.

There was a mix of emotions with cheers and boos scattered within the crowd after the American anthem. The crowd erupted with cheers when the Canadian anthem, “O Canada” began.
