Toronto Blue Jays Fans Boo U.S. Anthem During Home Opener

The protest at Rogers Centre reflects Canadian discontent over escalating U.S. tariffs and political rhetoric under President Trump.

Fans at the Blue Jays' home opener booed 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' continuing a protest trend against U.S. trade policies.
This marks the first MLB game in Canada since the U.S. imposed tariffs on Canadian imports, including a recent 25% tariff on automobiles.
The public address announcer urged fans to be respectful before the anthems, but the U.S. anthem still drew audible jeers.
Canadian fans then cheered and sang along to 'O Canada,' accompanied by a display from the Canadian Armed Forces.
The Orioles prepared their players for the potential reaction, acknowledging the broader tensions between the two nations.
