Yes, the Vancouver Canucks are big time cheaters. They are bigger "bad guys" than Chicago. Though, it is not like they have had one of their players break another player's neck in a while. The Canucks cheat in every single game they play. In fact, i would say they have never won a game in which they haven't cheated in some manner in their franchise history. It is just that some times you hear stuff from really, really biased sources.
Lose Canucks Lose - if nothing more than making my alleged brother less happy.
That brings me to my next topic... Sports Fanaticism. i don't understand this at all. i am referring to stuff like saying "we" when talking about a team and having some kind of emotional connection to a team. If you don't own or play on the team, there is no "we". Of course, i don't get the concept of claiming others success or failures as your own. i also don't get the concept of a team as a source of "civic pride" either.
i don't get how people can get so "invested" in a game of which they are just an observer (usually miles away). Sports is just a form of entertainment like a movie. Although the game isn't scripted (though sometimes it seems it might be). It really doesn't matter who won (unless you have money riding on the outcome). Of course, i have never felt i fit in with any group ever.
