Although I am fine with that in particular (albeit not my bag), acting like an ass during the anthem's in disrespcctful, and its got nothing to do with being a "sit on your hands" "boring" fan.

Up where we sit for the past 7 years, more then the fair share of dinks who love to pipe up with comments in between verses (in order to make up for some other inadequacy so that they get some attention, either a chuckle from easily distracted randoms, to "impress" their dates, or a high five from their buddies). Others sing the US national anthem with juvenile voices or words, or chat on their cell phones or have loud conversations with no regard to others around them, or want to walk to thier seats down in the middle of the row with this going on.

Chanting "red" like that isn't everyone's cup of tea, that's for sure, especially when it comes to happening during a country's national anthem. No matter how clever (or what other teams (who cares about that, really?) do) or how unique or fun it may to some, those who have differing opinions certainly doesn't make them less "hardcore" or "excited" as any other Flames fan because they don't like someone next to them yelling out like that during an anthem.

My 3c.
