Canadian Fans Boo US National Anthem at WWE Elimination Chamber in Toronto

During the WWE Elimination Chamber event in Toronto, fans booed the U.S. national anthem performed by Elizabeth Irving, continuing a trend seen in recent sporting events between the U.S. and Canada. Pat McAfee, a commentator for the event, criticized the Canadian audience for their actions, linking it to ongoing tensions related to political remarks made by former President Trump about Canada. The booing has been a recurring issue, with similar incidents occurring during hockey games earlier in the month, where fans from both countries disrespected each other's anthems. McAfee defended American pride during the broadcast, reflecting a growing sentiment among some Americans who view the booing as an affront. The situation highlights the strained relations between the two neighboring countries, particularly in the context of sports. As tensions simmer, Canadian fans appear to express their frustrations through this display at public events.
