No, but the tariffs were not official then. It happened tonight at the Sens game and will no doubt gain momentum. Personally I don't have an issue with it per se, I don't think the anthems should be played at sporting events anyway unless it's international competition. But booing when kids are singing is wrong. Unfortunately that won't stop people.
A smart move for now would be to suspend singing the anthems for a while but that’s not going to happen. Teams will have to announce to respect the singers and take out your anger and frustration in a different way in a different place. For example check the label and if it says “made in the USA” put it down and purchase something else. And put your travel dollars elsewhere. But please don’t boo children during a special moment in their young lives.
It’s not name calling. You’ve never heard the term “whipping boy”? And relax, everyone is allowed an opinion. You’re nobody’s protector so stop trying to be a hero.
