Debatable. And, in any case, the majority of the best Canadian hockey players do their skating in
the US now anyway.

You call that dull drill football...tune in to a few CFL games and see something exciting.

Well, many Canadians are /not/ American (as opposed to UnAmerican), anyways. But I kind of like the
American people-in-general. There are plenty of nice ones right here in this ng. I think the
American people get picked-on and maligned too much, especially since they readily pick-on
themselves so much. That King Kaufman guy referred to a "national character". I think it's in the
American national character to be highly self-critical, just like it's in the Canadian national
character to be introspectively, navel-gazingly looking for "national identity", while secretly
hoping not to find any.
The American people seem to have an outstanding ability to think outside the box, and willingness to
colour outside the lines (sorry for using such horrid cliches). I admire those traits. That's how
the Wright brothers got off the ground. That's how men got to the moon. That's how the atom bomb got
invented. (Okay, that last one might be a bad example.) That's how some really fine literature got
written. So the American people have a rich history of coming up with wonderful, imaginative,
ingenious, elegant and novel approaches to things. That doesn't make 'em, as King Kaufman seems to
imply, a bunch of cheaters or bad people. And it ain't fair to suggest that it does. Maybe Kaufman's
article is just another example of American self-criticism.
So, American people -- you folks just like to bypass the [censored] and cut to the chase in the pursuit of
Progress, that's all. You can stop beating yourselves up so much about it.
cheers, Tom

Why? Does the CFL have naked cheerleaders?
With erect nipples.

Yeah but they become the best in Canada and any good American team is mostly Canadians with the odd
Minnesotan and Euro thrown in.

I think it's time we gave Canadians some slack.
It's no wonder they get all paranoid, what with constantly having to guard their long, vulnerable
Southern border against illegal immigrants seeking the good life, eh.
<< BTW, most Canadians are UnAmerican too, and we play better Hockey... >>
We've taken almost all your hockey clubs. On behalf of America, I just want to say thanks eh.

And that's why you have never ever won a world cup, or even taken part in many.

Hmmm. Funny how that they let all those Canadians and Euros play on the US Hockey Olympic team. Yes,
I know the Canadians won the gold medal game last year -- but I also seem to remember something
about it being the first gold hockey medal in 50 years or so, no?

And the men made the semi's last year (and should have beaten the Germans and earned the opportunity
to get stomped by Brazil in the finals). Combine the men's and women's performance that has to make
the US the overall world champs, no?

And that's what would have happened, most likely. Just last week, the US Mens National Team was
beaten by Brazil's under-23 team in the CONCACAF gold cup tournament. Just imagine what would have
happened if they went against Brazil's first string!

I guess so!!!! <GGGG>

I know of at least one but I but then we are only have a population of 30 million to your roughly
300 million. Besides no self respecting Canadian male would play the sport when he can play hockey

If you do remember in the past our best turned pro and could never played in the Olympics (sort of
like your basketball players) When they did allow them it was in the start of the NHL playoffs so
many of best never got to play. Look at the last two when we played our best with little practice
as team a silver which should of been gold totally outplayed the Chez's but Hassik stoned us and
the last one we demoralized the US if it wasn't for Richter standing on his head it would have been
much higher. Oh yes didn't we win the World the year before and the juniors. Don't forget the great
game the woman played against 7 US players while only having 5 men on the ice.
