Sidney Crosby's Team
Probably a harmless comment, but really annoyed me when the announcers repeated that a few times. A small credit to him is that when he wins he acts with class. When he loses, that's a different story. I choked when the NBC people said that Crosby would have been just as gracious in defeat. Just think back to all his drama during the Cup Finals. List goes on. Congrats to Canada and Babcock though.
It honestly feels a lot like being in elementary school where people hate the guy who is better than them or badmouthing a person for getting a better mark on a test. I really didn't expect this type of crap on this board.
Honestly, after being around this blog for a couple years and hearing all this talk about "Michigan Men" and how we are above a lot of things that most of society in general are not, I am surprised at some of the stuff I have read here the past couple of weeks.
As a Canadian I have visited the USA many times and consider many Americans to be my friends. I have always thought we had a good relationship with the USA and honestly, whenever the USA plays anything that doesn't involve Canada I cheer for them.
I can also honestly say that over the past two weeks I have never been so insulted by comments on the internet. Some of the comments have been peoples misguided attempts to be funny, and I can overlook those, but some have been downright nasty.
If anything I would have thought the Canada v USA rivalry was a friendly one prior to this, now it reminds me of the way UM fans treat OSU.
I find it odd that the moderators of this site will take things like "pussy" out of a guys name but will allow some of the disparaging remarks that have been thrown around here over the past two weeks go without any problems.
I guess I just thought this blog was above stuff like this.
