Let Mark Jones worry about Mark Jones. He can claim to be American, hes likely a US citizen. He can change his name to Marsha for all i care.

He was probably a Raptor fan, consistently wanting attention from the US.

he also grew up in Toronto at the wrong time. things have changed. now it's the place to be, but he's still thinking this is hoser-puckhead land.

Check out other guys on ESPN from Toronto. Shulman's twitter's background pic PROUDLY displays he is Canadian. SMH mark jones

The worst was when he tried to act cool and use the word "fleek" during the celebrity All-Star game. I felt myself get red in the face it was so embarrassing.

Mark Jones hates Canada, same way Win Butler hates the USA.

Another complex he has he tries to hard to talk like a teenager or someone in their 20's
when he's like 50-60...

He has one of the most severe inferiority complexes I've ever seen

Didn't even know this guy existed... why do we care?

I do have to wonder what these two brothers think of each other.

This is quite amusing. Something must have happened to him in his personal or professional life here.

The back story on Mark Jones is that he was tired of the amount of coverage that hockey got in Canada and wanted to move to the U.S. where he could cover his favourite sport : basketball. Good for him.


Did you even read the thread?

I didn't see a single person criticize Mark for moving to the US.

No one said anything negative about Adnan Virk or the Basketball Jones guys or any of the other Canadian sportcasters who moved down to the US to take jobs.

All the criticism is about Mark hating on Canada or being a douche bag.


and I explained why he might have those opinions.


And it's a horrible rationale for the way this guy acts.

Just really odd that he'd trash Canada when his own brother lives and works here...would not be surprised if Mark is estranged from his entire family.

Reading all those tweets, he sounds like a Capitalist at heart.

I've come across a bunch of people that are Canadian or living in Canada that get frustrated with the Canadian way of life because they have more of a Capitalist mentality.

I say go ahead.....move to the USA.

I will say though.....when you move to the USA, Americans want you to say how grateful you are for being blessed with a US citizenship. You have to adopt that mentality or it won't go over well with your neighbors/ coworkers.

It's nothing like Canada in that regard.

I've met a bunch of American immigrants & the way they gush about the US sounds exactly like Mark's tweets.
