Hockey mom/Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin dropped the puck at the Philadelphia Flyers’ home opener against the New York Rangers Saturday night.
The Los Angeles Times reports that despite requests on the scoreboard which read “Flyers fans, show Philadelphia’s class and welcome America’s No. 1 hockey mom, Sarah Palin,” the booing was so prevalent that the music had to be turned up in order to compete with the Philadelphia fans.
“As a proud hockey mom and an avid NHL fan, I was thrilled to be here,” Palin later told the media. “I enjoyed joining the Philadelphia Flyers to drop the puck at tonight’s game. I wish them the best of luck this season.”
Sarah Palin is not the first person getting booed in a Philadelphia sports arena. In fact, even Santa Claus has been booed in Philly…
