From
where I sit it looks like there's a new villain for Canadians to
despise...

Whitlock's comments are so stupid as to be comical. I'm not
insulted; I'm amused. It's hardly original to be insulting to
Canadians. In fact, go for it Mr Whitlock. Be as ridiculous as you
would like. But wait, maybe he's right. Perhaps Canadians just
don't want to win at basketball as much as Americans and some
Europeans do. Just like Americans aren't as good at baseball as
players from other nations. Let's face it in 5 Olympic tournaments
the US only won once and they've never finished higher than 4th
at the World Baseball Classic. Of the past 10 World Series, only 4
MVPs have been American, one in the past 5 years. Clearly, there's
something missing from American kids when it comes to baseball, they just don't have the drive they need to be the best.
Basketball has the smallest roster of all the professional sports,
12. Yet, somehow Whitlock thinks Canadians are simply too lazy to be
the top players. On the other hand is it possible Canadians aren't
the best because it's not a major sport in Canada. Outside of
Toronto, the NBA has a toe hold at best. It's a secondary game and
with idiots like Whitlock running their mouths, there's not going to
be much change.
At
least that's how I see it, and I sit in the cheap seats.
Good to see you back in the cheap seats, Tim!
