I think the media feeds the perception by simply ignore our existance at all costs (Canadian eyeballs don't make $ for the U.S. networks hence the snubs). I spend a fair bit of time down there and our teams rarely get any coverage. When Vince was here I could feel the resentment...they couldn't ignore us then.
When we won the Atlantic I'm not sure anyone saw it coming, but they had to accept we were better than teams in NY, Boston and Phili. Thats a TOUGH pill to swallow. That's like your kid sister beating you at something. hahaha

I have family there and they were quite flabbergasted at the BlueJays successes in the early 90s. Like, this could not/should not happen! Tweaking them was fun. In anycase, Stern and his band of merrymen will go to India if they can make a buck (or lots of them). Wait a minute. They have opened an office there I hear! Lebron may think he has cachet but its got nothing to do with him really. MJ knew this when he was playing. Toronto is just too large & wealthy a market area to ignore. "Follow the money" is still a viable business principle.

Or that Adam Silver guy. Deputy Commish. But I could see BC moving into NBA head office for suure.Last edited by Joey; Thu Jan 27, 2011, 07:31 PM.

Read the comments. St. Louis should have the Raps - if it wasn't so ignorant it would be comical.

Bush, Obama - all the same. Hopefully Americans realize soon that voting for anyone with a (D) or an (R) after their name is voting for one in the same. They are all bought and paid for by corporate interests. And so ends my political commentary. Back to regularly scheduled Raptor drivel....

... yet somewhere there is an insecure racist old white hockey guy trying to get press on how toronto can sustain an NBA franchise...Last edited by charlz; Fri Jan 28, 2011, 12:19 PM."I may be wrong ... but I doubt it"
