The one thing about Philadelphia sports fans is that they have never been shy about letting their feelings be known.Ask Santa Claus, Mike Schmidt, the Dallas Cowboys, Terrell Owens and the long list of people who've been booed by Philly sports fans.
Despite the best efforts of Faux News and the MSM to downplay it, Palin was resoundingly booed at the Philadelphia Flyers-New York Rangers season opener when the 'hockey mom' showed up with her daughters Willow and Piper to drop a ceremonial puck to open the game. Her youngest daughter Piper was clad in a black Flyers jersey.
Ironically, the player representing the New York Rangers was Alaska native Scott Gomez, one of the few Latino players in the NHL.
To a loud chorus of resounding boos and shouts of 'Obama' conveniently edited out of the MSM version of the story, their photo op turned into a nightmare for the McPalin team. Ed Snider, the Philadelphia Flyers owner has donated to the McPalin campaign and visited a Philadelphia bar last month with Caribou Barbie.
The booing was so loud that they cranked the music up to ear-splitting levels just to drown it out.
The NHL said it did not view the Flyers’ invitation to be politically motivated.
“Governor Palin is a supporter of the sport, which she has proclaimed publicly,” NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said. “As a public figure who has a very public connection with hockey, her recent associations with the Flyers and other NHL franchises is not surprising and, in our view, not inappropriate.”
Yeah, right. One of your owners donates cash to a political campaign, has a team in the largest city in a critical swing state and it's not political?
Sell those woof tickets to somebody that doesn't know better.
