About the only ‘Canadian snowbirds’ this Christmas season were POLITICIANS. The same pols who told the peasant class, to stay at home and don’t visit with ANYONE other than those you live with. YET so many of these pols vacationed in WARM CLIMES over the holidays. Two week isolation on traveling to a foreign destination? SURE, I believe you hypocrites! A POX ON ALL THEIR HOUSES! (Or maybe a BAD case of CCP-Coronavirus on their houses!)
“It is not terribly overblown for Canadians, where hockey is as big as the NFL here, if not bigger.”
That was then for the NFL, but I don’t think it is true now and don’t think it is coming back. A lot a people have gotten a taste that there is something better. Be interesting to see what happens to hockey, particularly Canada.
In the UK, at a soccer match, some fans booed the BLM protest and the team identified them and either took their seats away or required attending diversity training. If I lived in the UK, I would walk away from professional soccer. Be interesting to see what happens there as well.
That's starting to change, in the new "Multicultural" Canada, where more and more hockey is dismissed as the sport of "White Rednecks", as opposed to more inclusive basketball, especially with the recent success of the Raptors.
