I want to apologize to all my American friends, I'm so embarrassed.  

Well I live in the US and it wouldn't bother me. Some people get caught up in the heat of the moment and don't really think about things. And honestly let's face it America really hasn't done much to be proud of lately. So I personally wouldn't worry about it, and I'm sure that your friends here on mylot that are from the states are not going to hold you responsible for the fans actions.

Uh we played soccer last night in canada? Hell I didnt even know it was soccer season lol. Not that I pay attention to that stuff, specially soccer. Give me some good ole american football anytime. But well you cant be blamed or the rest of your country for some idiots who would do that kind of thing.

Hi Bonbon664,
do not stress over this, and you shouldn't be embarrassed, you had nothing to do with it...unfortunately there are obtuse people everywhere. And by the way, they should have had the Canadian Anthem up first!!
~Stay cool, stay well and never, never stress~
~G~

I am not a sports fan, but I do not like rudeness. Maybe you can put the blame on the anti=Americanism that was populated by the former Liberal government. My younger son was going with a girl whose father was very anti=American and I was glad when they broke up. I mean if the Canadian anthem does not get played, why don;t they sing it? I love the States. I wish I could visit it more often. I mean this anti American has got to stop. What do they prefer to be friendly with a country who is known for its human rights violations, China?

Well I follow soccer, and to be honest I though it was extremely rude what they did. I understand being upset because they thought they weren't going to play the Canadian National Athem, but to be so disrespectful to another countries Anthem is just unexcusable.

Being from Canada myself, I want to thank you for being the considerate person you are by clarifing this matter. I knew nothing about this but I want to support bonbon664 in the hope you will all know Canadians are the same as any nation, we all have our good people and what would the world be without our idiots? They're in all the world. Personally I have met a few people from the USA and I have always got along well with everyone. Life really is what we make of it.

I'm Canadian too bonbon and I read Warmington's report with interest.
First - I add my apologies to our American Friends.
Second - the line up of the singing of the anthems was poorly planned. Our Mounties should have come out at the BEGINNING of the event and/or an announcement of the lineup of the anthems should have been made.
Thirdly - in a way I don't blame our Canadians. We are becoming more vocal about our pride in our Country and last night's event showed clearly how vocal we are becoming. Did you notice that the Canadians stayed 'quiet' during the playing of God Save The Queen? We still have our respect for our origins.
Toronto residents are very savvy people. There is a lot that we as Canadians have to be resentful for where the American policies are concerned. So I am not surprised at 'our' booing their anthem, though it certainly showed a lack of class that we Canadians have always been known for.
Such is the modern world today - respect is becoming a thing of the past. How sad.
Again my apologies to my American friends - YOU are not responsible for the policies of your politicians any more than we are.

Woah what are you apolgising for bonbon.It was the players who did wrong not you.
That kinda thing happens in all countries but you will never hear me apologising to
to people from others countries..NOT EVER.
I am proud to be Scottish..that includes the good & the bad !!

Don't be embarrassed. It wasn't your fault. Still, they shouldn't have booed it. I would never boo anyone's anthem, and I'm sure most people wouldn't either.

I saw watching the Evening news and saw the Article tonight. From what I could Gather the Organizers of the MLS soccer game forgot to Bring out the Canadian Flag, and consequently the Canadian Anthem was not played.I think the Canadian spectators can be forgiven for booing the US national Anthem, when they were being totally Ignored. The Organizers of the Event were remiss, and should issue a Public apology for their Inept behavior.
