If you've read the post previous to this one, you will know that I, along with most people who know about it, was greatly insulted by the actions of some fans at a San Jose vs Edmonton game on Sunday, where the San Jose arena booed the Canadian National anthem.
Yesterday, in all major Canadian newspapers, an apology written by the Mayor of the city of San Jose was published, addressed to all Canadians in the arena, the players, and any Canadians who watched, on behalf of his city. He was deeply sorry that people that ignorant lived in his city, and acted in such a manner.
I was pretty pleased when I read this article. It restored my faith in people having respect for each others nationality, even in the states. Sometimes we tend to believe that one group of ignorant people makes an entire nation ignorant. But it just isn't the case, and its nice to see it proven once in a while.

I would also like to point out that at the next home game in Edmonton, Oilers fans stood and sang along to the star-spangled banner, and there were deafing cheers at the end. Some people just have more class, i suppose.
I have been looking for sites like this for a long time. Thank you!
