Yeah, all the 2-ply Americans that are whinging because the fans booed their anthem, calling it disrespectful (Which it is in all honesty, but come on ...sports fans. What'd you expect?). But your Clown-in-Chief calling Canada the 51st state repeatedly isn't disrespectful?? Get some perspective, seriously.
As for all you Americans saying it's America's sport now... I guess baseball is Japan's sport then eh?

I think Trump should bring them to the table and try to understand where all the angst comes from and why they're so confrontational to the US and their surrounding neighbors. After that, give them a massive stimulus package so Kim and his family can go on living like royalty all the while the citizens starve to death and suffer. Reward their misbehaviour.
