Some attendees at Saturday’s Toronto Raptor’s playoff game against the Miami Heat were not impressed by the Heat’s Dwayne Wade when he practiced taking jump shots during Canada’s national anthem.

In this video, Wade can clearly be seen attempting no less than three jump shots as “O Canada”; plays, a move that many Canadians saw as downright disrespectful of our home and native land.
As reported by CBC News, a number of Raptors fans took to Twitter to express their disgust at Wade for disrespecting our anthem:
@NBA you need to fine @DwyaneWade for shooting during O Canada, you wouldn’t put up with that during the U.S anthem, set a precedent…

@NBA how is @DwyaneWade not fined or suspended for disrespecting MY NATIONAL ANTHEM?!? You don’t shoot around when O Canada is playing! #TO — Jesse S. (@jessesmit79) May 8, 2016

Pretty harsh of @DwyaneWade to completely ignore our national anthem. #WeTheNorth @NBA

I could do without anthems in sports, but what a classless display by Dwyane Wade taking jump shots during “O Canada”; yesterday. — Jack Thompson (@jthompson709) May 8, 2016
