Talk about irony. Self-proclaimed "hockey mom,"Sarah Palin made a puck dropping appearance on Saturday to kick off the NHL season at the Philadelphia Flyer's game. The VP running mate to John McCain was not given a totally warm welcome - there were some cheers at first, but soon, there were several minutes of "booing" from the huge crowd.
Video after the jump!
Palin walked the carpet on the ice with her daughters Willow and Piper, and the jumbotron stated, "Flyers fans, show Philadelphia's class and welcome America's # 1 hockey mom, Sarah Palin," however, many hockey fans started booing Palin. Not very classy at all. Even if you don't like the woman's politics, she did have her kids with her and that was probably upsetting for them.
Besides being booed, some fans gave a 'thumbs down' sign and others called her names.
Sarah posed for photos with Flyers captain Mike Richards and New York Rangers assistant captain Scotty Gomez. The crowd continued their disrespect the entire time Palin was on the ice.
You can see the crowd's reaction in the video below:
