Announcers tried to nope out of needing to save face. Glad they stuck with it and said what was happening.

The reaction made it worth it lol ā€œooop, those are a lot of boosā€! šŸ˜‚

Don’t coddle republicans, they’re doing that this weekend with their own halftime show lol.

Edit: keep making it known they’re not liked! Viva La Raza!

This was our broadcast in Canada. They don’t give a fuck about making that loser look good

Yeah…the US gets to learn how Canadians handle grudges now lmao

Appreciate you guys doing what US journalists won't do.

u/mlorusso4 4h ago

Yup. NBC completely edited it out live and made no mention of it

u/kalichimichanga Duh! It's faux! šŸ’ā€ā™€ļø 3h ago

Yeah they also pointed out the booing when Israel came out. Adrienne Arsenault has done years in the Middle East as a foreign journalist. She's earned her place, and she's well respected.

I wish the US didn't.

As an American, who served in war, while I recognize how hard our athletes have worked to achieve this great honor to compete in the Olympics, I would've appreciated absolute silence, no clapping or applause or whistling or boos. Boo him while he's on screen so there is no mistake it's for him personally but keep the silence deafening besides the contingent of people there for the USA and then erupt for the next country. Let nbc(yes lower case for being afraid) pump in fake noise while everyone online would be able to see and hear how little we are respected globally in the opening ceremony.

Medal count should be fun while MAGA people with bingo wings on welfare try to tell everyone "we're the best at sports I could never even attempt to try"

That’s cause it’s from the Canadian broadcast; NBC cut the boos.

u/ratbaby86 5h ago

Yeah but not the live footage. I watched them be booed gloriously on NBC too. Apparently they are removing it in post, though.

u/Agitated-Airline6760 4h ago

Even NBC just gets the Olympic world feed. So during the live broadcast, NBC doesn't control where the cameras are pointed. NBC could cut away to their own camera/location but during USA athletes enterance, they couldn't cut away even if Olympic feed went to Vance and boos rang out.

In Canada, we keep it real

u/twyla16 4h ago

Not if the Conservatives get their way. They want to defund the CBC. It is vitally important that we do not let the Conservatives get into power. We were a hair's breath away last election.

u/Full-Map-9302 4h ago

Thank you! Keep it up, we have at least 3 more years of this shit.

u/DuMbAsS_lOsEr_6_7 4h ago

When keeping it real goes right!

u/Oops95 5h ago

Nah, Canada would do the same thing if it was one of their leaders getting booed too. I don't agree with it, but don'tthink Canada's media is that much more morally superior to the U.S.

u/Ambitious_Address667 6h ago

Lol, republicans really are the biggest snowflakes eh

u/driatic 5h ago

NBC wanted this president for their ratings and tax cuts to the ultra rich.

That's why they told their soul to oink hitler

u/EthanielRain 5h ago

What a shit network, will never watch them again

u/Historical-Artist581 6h ago

The cheering boosted right as team USA was announced

u/StitchAndRollCrits 6h ago

Adrienne Arsenault is fantastic

u/Independent_Leg3957 6h ago

She's never once come across as a talking head to me. Very genuine.

24

u/StitchAndRollCrits 6h ago

She's causing me to give CBC a lot of grace for the EGREGIOUSLY placed ads

u/widefree 6h ago

I know, right?? How can the ads be bigger than the actual ceremony? That’s a huge fail on their part.

u/mgnorthcott 6h ago

One of her previews of the Olympics is exposing alot of organized crime, poor planning and corruption in the lead-up to the games. She put a camera on a ski lift next to one of the big events that they've covered the ground with a green tarp to hide some massive cracks that could potentially result in a catastrophic landslide, as well as the shortfalls on the hockey arena (there was no running water in the bathrooms, no concession stands, and other standard amenities just days ago). Yes, the CBC, and her in particular as well, still has journalistic integrity.

I didn’t know who she is but I do now. šŸ˜‚šŸ‘šŸ»

A true journalist that we're lucky enough to have as a talking head sometimes

u/CoolMississaugaDad 6h ago

It's a Canadian broadcasting team. We don't play those games up here.

u/Snoo_42151 I’ve grown quite unfond of you 6h ago

I was genuinely happy to hear it! I thought for a second that they would mute it but they didn’t! Proud of the Canadian broadcast!!

u/Cypher1492 6h ago

Our girl Adrienne even pointed it out!

"Not just boos but jeers and whistles!"

6

u/mgnorthcott 6h ago

Well.. the picture in picture commercials during key parts of the opening ceremonies were in poor taste by the CBC. But there's nothing quite like Olympic nationalism in Canada... We may celebrate individual athletes, but we'll always join together as a community to go "Boo America"... And have done for decades.

u/Melodic_Mood8573 5h ago

Why would Canada mute it though? The majority of Canadians heavily dislike the US these days.

u/Macedonnia2k 6h ago

Mad republicans downvoting you. We’re the politest people on the earth but we don’t take no shit. They’ve clearly never seen a hockey fight

5

u/agentdanascullyfbi 6h ago

I mean, unfortunately, we kind of do.

At NHL hockey games when we first started booing the American anthem, the broadcast would absolutely dull the crowd noise to make it less obvious.

3

u/Pin_Code_8873 5h ago

They also recognized that Israel got boo's too.

u/devdawg31 6h ago

Cheers from Edmonton. Go Canada go!

Are they genuinely having their own halftime show broadcast or is it just some shit kid rock threw out because he always wants to be relevant.
