That is only if you take the definition very literally though.
Toronto has Canada's only MLB and NBA teams.
Hence they also make up the biggest proportion of fan bases for those sports in the country. It also means that a lot of people outside of Toronto will cheer for them and will see them as Canada's team.
Just because you and troutman don't agree, doesn't mean it is not reality in Canada right now.
It means they will occasionally lead off Sportscenter and have more focus on them since they have a bigger fan base then say the Portland Trail Blazers or Houston Astros in Canada.
IMO it's like complaining that the Canadian teams are shown first in the NHL highlights, going by your theories we should just start with the biggest sporting event of the day regardless of sport or team playing.
