Canada won the 4 Nations Hockey tournament final vs USA 3-2 in overtime but there's a little extra context needed. They played each other earlier in the tournament in Canada and the Canadian fans booed the US national anthem. Once the puck dropped there were like 3 fights and USA won that game. Fast-forward to the final and Canada got the last laugh by winning the tournament in Boston over USA. Many dumb Americans added political pressure to that booing and win
I think you still haven't provided enough context:
...due to America's leader denying Canada's sovereignty, and launching a tariff regime intended to cripple Canada's economy.
In this game the Americans booed Canada's national anthem, while in a sense retaliatory is also a doubling down and refusal to acknowledge the legitimacy of Canada's grievance.
Thanks for the added context. I didn't watch or follow much of this.
