How to ignite a cross-border sports culture war

@JayOnrait @pgammo seriously though, who is Peter Gammons? He has a puppy and flowers as his avatar.
Jay Onrait ✔@JayOnraitFollow@GrahamDeLaet He is the Bob McKenzie of MLB I suppose. Bob Mac would never be so rude to insult baseball (might think it though)
