ATLANTA -- In their own apparent protest, Atlanta Thrashers fans made their own voices heard Friday night.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Saturday that fans booed during the Canadian national anthem before the Thrashers' NHL game against the Ottawa Senators.

It might have been a response to events from Thursday night, when Montreal fans booed during the U.S. national anthem before the Canadiens' game against the New York Islanders.

Canadiens president Pierre Boivin issued an apology Friday. The Thrashers organization did the same that night.

"The entire Thrashers' organization regrets the actions of a small number of fans that behaved disrespectfully during the Canadian anthem tonight prior to the Thrashers' game against the Ottawa Senators," the statement read as printed in the newspaper.

"The Thrashers' organization firmly believes this type of behavior has no place in professional sports. We hope that this was an isolated incident and apologize to anyone who was offended, including the Canadian-born members of both teams."

Anyone watch the oscars last night? There was a person that won an oscar for best documentary. It was his first oscar. He used his time to tell the world -Shame on you President Bush.

Worthless people I think. Pres. Bush has my support. As for the troops in Iraq, the ones that keep me and my family safe at night, God Bless Ya'll, fight hard and come home safe. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Michael Moore is the person you refer to. The "documentary" he won an award for is a screed against the NRA and Charlton Heston, and is full of lies and inaccuracies (see http://www.hardylaw.net/Truth_About_Bowling.html ). He is a left-wing radical political activist who has also brought us such fine works of art as "Roger &amp; Me" (about how GM layoffs and plant closures affected his hometown) and "Stupid White Men" (about how Bush "stole the election" and should be removed by the United Nations).
Quite a character, what I would call an "America hater"
