I hate this attitude too. Personally I played hockey, baseball, and football growing up and have Flames and Stamps season tickets. I'm definately a 'sports' guy. However, when it comes to soccer I just don't have the time of day for it. Somehow the soccer lovers translate people like me as some sort of a 'problem' or as 'lacking passion' for sports. I would reckon that it's not that Canadians aren't passionate for sports but rather they aren't passionate for
their sport. Which really isn't a problem worthy of national dialoge.
