On Thursday night many fans witnessed an instant classic between the United States of America and Canada in the finals of the World Junior Championship.

Unfortunately that emotionally charged game brought out the worst in some fans, and some of those fans took it out on the star player of their franchise, Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews.

Matthews sent out a seemingly harmless message on social media that featured three little American flags to celebrate the victory of his compatriots and that was all it took to set some people off.
