Toronto Raptors fans boo American National Anthem before NBA game

Fans at a Toronto Raptors game continued an emerging trend Sunday of booing the American national anthem at pro sporting events in Canada.

Fans of the NBA's lone Canadian franchise booed the anthem after similar reactions broke out Saturday night at NHL games in Ottawa, Ontario, and Calgary, Alberta; hours after U.S. President Donald Trump made his threat of import tariffs on America's northern neighbor a reality.

Poor Kyra. Shouldn't have sent a kid out there full knowing this would probably happen

[EhThisIsAGoodName]

Given the current mood, I feel it a little cruel to send a teenager out to sing

[ct]

They are booing trump.
Next time put trumps face on the jumbotron before playing the anthems.

[팀킬-wq]

The audience wants to boo and curse loudly, but the singer is young so they are exercising self-control

[montauta]

Love you Canadians brothers and sisters

[waderittenberry]

Feel sorry for the girl, but TOTALLY support it otherwise.
Don't send kids out there. Period.
✊🏼

[valeriahamilton]

The boos were about Tdump not her. Nice job singing young lady!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[Lamby]

Come on fellow Canadians! We can Boo louder than that! 🍁🇨🇦🍁

[jasonraspburg]

like how nice us canadians are still are after the anthem we gave a cheer when she was done, very polite boo, its going to be much worse maga usa if you go down this road

[Folded]

As an American, I approve of this. I feel bad for the singer though

[JEBossTon]

Beautiful. Keep it up Canada. This American supports you.

[kericarlson]

As an American I just want to say I'm sorry Canada. You don't deserve this s**t. I did not vote for Trump and if I had been there I would have been booing right along with you. Breaks my heart to say that and breaks my heart to see my country being booed. But please, boo louder next time. We deserve it. In fact, i think many of my "countrymen" need to hear it.

[axokrotus]

Poor girl, but good on them for booing the U.S.

[cheyennem]

Reminder that people are booing in protest of the government NOT the singer ❤

[cesaralvarez]

Wow. It seems almost like a Spanish stadium when a foreign squad comes to play against La Roja.

[solidsnake]

These are the same people that cheered when Kevin Durant got hurt in the Finals

[andygingrich]

The one fellow as a great idea to put Trump on the big screen. Then listen to the boos. It not all the US people, just the Trumpers they boo.

[SuperFriday]

They do know Toronto is in Canada right?

[jasonraspburg]
