American rudeness in San Jose?

You might have heard about this.
Several thousand fans in the HP Pavilion decided that a few fans booing one of the Sharks players in Edmonton deserved to have their entire country insulted. Yes, my homeys thought that booing the Canadian Freaking National Anthem was the OK thing to do to repay a few boors in Edmonton who booed a PICTURE of Joe Thornton that was unfortunately shown during OUR Anthem.
That's the way we do it nowadays, person A does something dumb, so person B goes out of their way to show they they can be a complete, utter and total jackoff in doing something even stupider. You know, because they gotta show 'em. Gotta make sure person A knows they're not afraid of them. So let's just say a few Canadian fans are interviewed beforew tonight's game and they say that the American fans are classless boobs for booing. (They ARE, by the way) The natural reply for the San Jose fans will be to burn Canadian flags, smash all their Rush CD's, and wave a picture of the Queen on fire.
And really, we actually wonder why people think the USA is full of ignorant retards?
I was raised in San Jose, among a group of people that could always be described as....diverse. We didn't just KNOW about other cultures, we REVELED in them. And ALWAYS with respect. We were racers, and the family trooped off to the Pacific Northwest several times for racing series, and we met even MORE different people! It was a blast. In Washington State, they played BOTH anthems before the races because of the large numbers of Canadians there, and we stood RESPECTFULLY, at attention for them. Eventually we even learned the words to "Oh, Canada" and happily sang along with our neighbors and friends to the North. And when we went over the border to THEIR country, the favor and courtesy was ALWAYS returned, should some ignorant Canadian feel the need to sit back down during the Star Spangled Banner, we never even had the time to get offended, because one of their own would instruct them in courtesy, sometimes making their point via a left hook.
Come to think of it, we did the same should some putz feel "Oh, Canada" wasn't worthy of his respect.
And now, we have thousands booing the anthem of our neighbors.
To be fair, some of the crowd sang along to it and tried to drown out the idiots, but there was far too many of them. To those who attempted, good job. To those who did NOTHING?
You're a disgrace to the USA, the state of California, and most especially to that wonderful city of my youth where we were taught to respect and appreciate the differences in the many cultures of this world.
San Jose, you make me ashamed to admit I'm from there.....
The assholes who were booing, they're assholes, plain and simple, classless, brainless, and most likely dickless.
The ones who just sat there and let them do it?
You're the ones who should be ashamed of yourselves.

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!!!!

I vow I will NEVER allow any of my fellow Americans to be so rude in MY presence!
I salute my great neighbor to the North!!
And Sharks fans, you've just started a war against an entire country.
Every single hockey fan in Canada is united AGAINST you, they'll be wearing their maple leafs proud tonight, hoping to see your rudeness eliminated from the playoffs this year. A sea of red and white awaits you in Edmonton!!! A nation unites to mock you for your stupidity.
Good job of getting them riled up, you idiots.
