A lot of funny comments there.
Sometimes when i close my eyes, I can’t see
Sounds like a rare condition. Perhaps a medical examination can clear that up.
How many of the Toronto players are Canadian?
One?
Maybe we can trade them one of our Stanley Cups. I don’t think a Canadian team has won since Montreal beat the Los Angeles Kings (with Gretzky) in the early ‘90s.
I think it’s a condition caused by No See-ums
Sometimes when i close my eyes, I can’t see
when i get a headache, I rub salt in my eyes- takes my mind right off the headache
I know what you mean. Sounds like the time I stapled bologna to my face.
Or like the time I threw my legs up over my head and scrapped the back of my thighs with a cheese grater
Good question. The Toronto Raptors get their players from the same pool of players as any NBA team. It’s not like they are a Canadian entry in the NBA consisting only of Canadian players, because it’s the Canadian team in the NBA. That’s not how it works.
Consider any professional sports. How many Packers are from Green Bay, how many Mariners are from Seattle? How many Yankees are from New York?
Can't STAND Golden State.
While we're at it...I'd pay double to see someone knock that smirk off of curry's face AND punch draymond green in the mouth.
You would probably have to stand in line.
You’re right! The comments are hilarious!
Personally, I can't stand the Golden State. While the nickname may have originally been adopted to commemorate successful mining in California, in recent years it more accurately conveys the State's close resemblance (politically, socially and environmentally) to a bucket of urine...
Professional sports as currently set up is surrogate mercenary city-state warfare.
As one wit said many years ago when the Blue Jays won the World Series....Our Americans beat their Americans.
How many in the crowd could even find Canada on a map?
Probably all of them since they found Oracle in Oakland and survived. Brownie points for that.
That is true but the Canadian fans are acting more like it’s a World Cup match where the players actually are from the team’s country.
