Question You make me sick!

As you may have discovered from reading the on-going debates between the two rival camps, there is among American soccer fans a person known as a Eurosnob. Someone who either thinks that MLS is sub-par compared to the Euro leagues and isn't worth watching or thinks that everything, from the nicknames to the kits without sponsors, this league does is wrong. Sometimes both. But you Canadians have something not unlike the Eurosnob. Something, usually within Metropolitan Toronto, that wants the NFL and won't settle for anything "less." My question is: who is more annoying? Eurosnobs or American Wannabes?

However, the majority of Canada are not 'American wannabes.'

Well I could have asked in the Other Sports forum, but what are the odds that I'll get Canadians to respond?

That's what I thought.

Thumbs down Close but...

no cigar. Voted for both, but wanted it to end, they're both wrong. Both groups have some points in their favour, but they generally miss the whole point of the argument - now if they'd just missed the boat over here.

Huh???

You couldn't have voted for both, I did, and there is only one vote tallied for f -em both.

Or did you accidently vote for they're both right?

Don't want to f-em. They're misguided fans of a sport and would prefer to have them give some acknowledgement if not grudging support of the leagues/teams they put down. They have some valid criticisms of the MLS/CFL and would prefer to see work done to win' em over rather then send them on a long walk off a short pier. My biggest problem with them is they don't seem to realise that the sport/team they're putting down is the only game in town and when it goes, so does the game. They an always watch on the tube, but that's a poor substitute to attending events live in my book.
