The Toronto Raptors beat Miami on the road Saturday night to take a 2-1 series lead with a 95-91 win. Heat star Dwyane Wade dropped 38 on Toronto - but the three-time champion is under fire after cameras showed him taking a few extra shots while a singer was at midcourt performing the Canadian national anthem.
“ Not a fan of anthems before games but will say if a Canadian did what Wade did yesterday for the other anthem, there'd be huge outrage. ”

“ Dwayne Wade, a revered elder statesman in the NBA, can't cool off for a minute and stand for the Canadian anthem? Bush league. ”

“ I have NO respect for anyone disrespecting the national anthem. I lost
respect for Wade. Then again never had any for him. ”

Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf was famously suspended one game in 1996 for
failing to " stand and line up in a dignified posture " during the national
anthem

How would you feel if a Toronto Raptor did that at a game in the USA?

Could you imagine what would happen if it was at a Toronto Maple Leafs game? There would be a riot!
Tru dat. Canadian Hockey fans are fanatical - especially if they still buy tickets to watch the Leafs after all these dry years since taking the Cup. And if Leafs fans are considered to be fanatical, what superlative word can we call the Habs fans?
And their rightly upset. A no class move on the part of Wade.
He needs to be suspended and fined. That's simply unacceptable and ignorant.

Trump would have threatened to build a wall and hit Canada with a 25% tax on anything they sell in the US. This was a pure trashy move on Wade's part.

There should be no music played in the @ AirCanadaCentre when @ MiamiHEAT is back in Toronto. Just the national anthem. The whole game.
Me too.
