Why does american media resent us?

See, War of 1812

See, America's biggest trade partner.

Talk to an American sometime. Remember the days when Miami trolls will come over to this board and claim Miami is a bigger market than Toronto? That's not nearly as bad as talking to a Milwaukee fan that claim "there are quite a few Chinese restaurants in Milwaukee, comparable to Toronto".....anyone want to convince the guy otherwise?

Also, that's not counting over 40% of Americans are religious nut cases....when you believe in Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, Tower of Babel to be literal stories, you'll believe in anything.

You say resent, i say indifference.

Why would they give a crap about the raptors? and why would they care enough to resent us? You're giving your/ourselves too much credit.

[Brinbe]

They don't.

Can we do a back to skool countdown? When it gets under 10 days wake me up so I can exit my hole.

Who cares what they say. We live in Canada, not America. Too many Candians care about what our American freinds say about us. We love it when we get mentioned by them, but i dont think they care too much about what we think about America and their sports teams.

Cause we burned down their white house.

Why are Canadian media always reporting about the Raptors and not about other NBA teams? Canadian media must hate the American teams.

Correction: Canadian media doesnt report about the raptors

LOL, my bad I'm not Canadian so I have no idea

honoured that you spent your first post on that welcome

Raptors need to earn the respect until then raptors will looked over. Once raptors become good you will see some coverage. Toronto does not get espn (if they did it might be a bit different).

ESPN only caters to american people. Anything related to raptors they talk about the other side. CRTC should let ESPN enter the market thats one way to get more exposure.

I think if they got ESPN, ABC, TNT in Canada it would be different. From this point on though we're a bad team with no star players so there's really no point to even mention the Raptors

Xenophobia.

Wasn't that a rock opera by the Who?

Check that, it was Quadraphenia.

sorry . Americans LOVE winners; all is forgiven if a team wins. Yes, we can be sh**heads in the media. Americans love Canada, in case you didn't know it. Great affection when talking about our neighbors to the north.

John saunders gives us props ohh that's right he's from toronto. oooops.

Since when do we not get ABC in Canada?

This. They are mad that the United States isint also a Continent.

[Fairview4Life]

To answer the question seriously, it's probably because of our good looks.

[DG88]

I really don't care what the american media thinks of us anymore. We can whine about it but until the Raptors start winning we they will keep on bashing us.

[Gold Chain]

Ask an American why the Whitehouse is white?

Okay, technically we were a British Colony fighting in red coats I believe.

They as a nation have never gotten over it and have secretly designed a clever way of screwing us over by ignoring hockey and by never talking about the Jays or Raptors.
