Rogers and Sportsnet will have to have a talk with him about his messaging and branding.
Rogers from the Sportsnrt Central to the panel to Cuthbert and Simpson, has continually awkwardly forced the comparison to the Olympics (using "best on best") to overhype this thing for months leading up and now as much as possible the last 8 days. It simply doesn't compare no matter how much they want to wrap the flag around everyone.

It's not the Olympics, but considering the political climate and the fact that the championship game was against the country threatening to annex you and the game being in that country, I am not so sure it wasn't just as important.
