After ripping on the Canadian fans for booing the U.S.
national anthem at the Rogers Centre on Saturday before
Elimination Chamber, Raw color commentator Pat McAfee
apologized for his comments.
McAfee made his feelings known during the show, criticizing
the audience for what they did and calling Canada
“terrible.”
On today’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show, the former NFL
star tried to calm things and get back on their good side.
McAfee said that he respects the passion of the fans that
have for their country and he hoped they understand he was
doing just the same for his country.
McAfee said he was asked to “investigate” why Canadians
booed the national anthem and said he understood that there
are political differences at the moment.
“I feel like anytime I think of Canada, I don’t think of
what Justin Trudeau does,” McAfee said. “I don’t think
immediately of Justin Trudeau’s decisions. I don’t think
immediately of what Canada is doing in the political sphere.
I think of the people of Canada.”
McAfee then said that he’s ready to shake hands and move
along.
“And I still love Canadians, okay? We got one in the
building,” McAfee continued. “I’m sorry. So, let’s go shake
their hands. Canada. Boom. I hope we get settled.”
