arnie said:No it wouldn't. The US isn't entirely dependent oon basketball for self image the way Canada is for hockey. Canada is basically a world backwater and cvomplete 0 in just about everything, including sports. Hockey is the one and only thing they have, so it gets magnified far beyond anything similar would in the US. Without hockey, they are nothing more than a pooorer, whinier version of America.
Another factor: Try looking at Canadian newspapers. If it weren't for stores about the US or about things happening in the US, it could be printed on half a page. They are desperate for something Canadian to write about.
Ann Coulter, is that you?
