HardCoreBlue Posted November 19, 2023 Report Posted November 19, 2023 ‘Freedom fighters we the fringe’ people booing the glorious and free part of our national anthem while freely attending an entertainment event and haven’t fought for anything in their life.

They’ve booed this part of the anthem many times well before and not just in Winnipeg so if some are using it to honor our BB in this particular case all the power to them. 1 minute ago, HardCoreBlue said: They’ve booed this part of the anthem many times well before and not just in Winnipeg so if some are using it to honor our BB in this particular case all the power to them. Anyways I’ve said my peace, Lets go Jets.

In my experience it has always been glorious and “blue”. They have done it for years. Just like Bomber fans do the “True North” chant at Bomber games, just more muted then the “glorious and blue” they belt out at IG Field every anthem. Noeller and captaincanuck12 1 1

How do you explain it happening in other cities with no affiliation to the BB. Anyways, we can take this DM if need be.

Anyways, we can take this DM if need be. I am not looking at an argument. I cannot speak to other arenas and other fan bases. I don’t recall hearing a boo regularly in other cities during the anthem, but I don’t make a point of listening to the anthem in other cities. If it has happened (and I accept your position that it has happened), I would be disgusted by it. But having had season tickets to the Bombers and flex packs to the Jets, I can say with full confidence that people are not booing here. The Bombers “glorious and blue” has been a thing since we moved into IG Field, if not before. It is a rip-off from the Roughriders “glorious and green” they chanted at old Mosaic (which made more sense since “green” and “free” at least sound the same). Since “True North” became a big thing at Jets games, the Bomber fans wanted their own chant, so that is what they came up with. And since “True North” bled into anthems at Bomber games, the “blue” shout out has been co-opted during Jets games, especially with the success of the football club. HardCoreBlue 1

TrueBlue4ever Posted November 19, 2023 Report Posted November 19, 2023 Funny that the broadcasters were talking about the Arizona goalie working on his puck handling and decision-making outside the crease, then a minute later, oops!

I only learned about that a couple years ago, but as mentioned, the TRUE NORTH thing gets done at both teams games (maybe Moose too?) as does the Glorious and BLUE thing at both teams games..... Crossover in fanbase I suppose.... They're having fun.
