And the players are finding solace in some time away from football. After the disastrous 2024 season, the 49ers TE George Kittle tuned in to watch the NHL 4-Nations Face-Off tournament, where the USA faced Canada at the Bell Center in Montreal, Canada. And the reactions during the game weren\u2019t very American.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the crowd in attendance also booed the US National anthem, forcing the NFL athlete to vent his anger on social media. He posted a video of the game with the message, \u201c<em>Don\u2019t boo the anthem! USA 3-1<\/em>\u201d with 4 emojis of the American flag. But after the victory, the US team moved into the championship game.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/49ers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#49ers<\/a> George Kittle reacts to USA beating Canada in hockey:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t boo the anthem!

Sitting in the Swedish national jersey with fake yellow and blue hair, he said, \u201c<em>Super happy that I\u2019m here.

With 2 wins, the American team has entered the championship game scheduled on Thursday, February 20 in TD Garden, Boston, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p>For viewers who want to enjoy the game from home, they can watch it on ESPN, TNT, and ABC. It can also be streamed on Fubo for free. About their rivals, Canada, Finland, and Sweden have 2 points. So, they have already cruised ahead of their rivals. However, George Kittle wasn\u2019t excited just about the gameplay.<\/p>\n<p>Fans were also surprised with 3 fights that broke out in the first nine seconds of the game. Clearly, the adrenaline was running high. Expect more players like JJ Watt and Jason Kelce to watch the finals after playing hockey during their childhood. It\u2019s understandable. Players are enjoying some time away from the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US won against Canada in the 4-nation NHL Tournament while the 49ers TE George Kittle gives an angry message to crowd over booing US Anthem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":34644,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING: 49ers George Kittle reacts to USA beating Canada in hockey: \u201cDon\u2019t boo the anthem!
