I'm aware that in British culture they boo the anthems of other countries at soccer games(Dont know the extent of it). That being said, any Brits lucky enough to go to the fight please show class and remain silent during the anthem. Most Americans found it offensive. ALL Americans that have served this country through the armed forces found it offensive.
    They booed Floyd's face on the big screen, the anthem just happened to be playing

      People need to relax and take a chill pill.
      Yeah it definatley pumped things up. If I was to come into your house, beat the **** out of you and rob you, that would pumpthings up too. Any American(and there are quite a few) that doesnt realize the sacredness of the flag and the people who have died for what that flag stands, shoot get does of reality. Ever seen a man with his hat on at a sporting event during the anthem? An able bodied person sitting down? Thats what I thought. Keep burning the dube out in Cali. I know it's good out there.

        I highly doubt they put up PBF's face on the screen throughout the whole anthem.

          They did. Its on youtube. The booing didn't start til his mug came up on screen.

          Why would British people give a fcuk about the US anthem? they're our biggest ally.

          don't be a souped up halfwit.

            You're the first to ever bring this up. It was all over the bbc and ripped by brits. If that is the case, the meatheads should have been aware that the anthem was playing and shut their ****ing mouths.

                  God bless the American education system. Although, I suppose you can't criticise the teachers when they're too worried about some lunatic going around shooting at them because you gave them a F.

                    This might be an entirely new issue you are having here. Did the brits come to your house, beat the **** out of you, and rob you??

                    So they came, booed the national anthem, etc. booohooo. Your fighter beat the **** out of theirs so just say: "HAHAHAHAHA in your face u Brits" or something of the sort and continue on with your life. It's not rocket science. And no need to smoke anything either.

                    Also what does that flag stand for to you? Oppression of speech and expression? As you said many have died for what the flag stands for, and that is freedom of speech and expression both positive and negative. The flag doesn't stand for shutting the **** up, but for speaking up your views instead.
