y'know mate, you can probably tell by my username that I'm a Brit. One of the things I loved about this country when I first came here was just how positive in it's outlook it is in comparison to the UK. I also remember the first time I rode the TTC and saw, with open mouthed amazement that there was a mural of the Habs at College station on the opposite platform to one where a Leafs mural adorned the wall. Could you imagine how long a Man Utd mural at a Liverpool bus station would last?
How tolerant and civilized, I thought, how reasonable that sport should be given that level of respectful rivalry that that can happen. Maybe I could attend a game of some kind here without threat of a punch in the face or worse...
I still think Canadians and Torontonians have a wonderful attitude towards sport, I honestly do. But there is a bit of the sports fan hate in everyone, I guess.
anyway, that topic, what was it again?
