There is close to 3 million people in BC outside of Vancouver who probably don’t give a flying #### about the Whitecaps.

Should actually be the Canucks.

Fans are too fair-weather to actually hate any other team; but they're good at going from "biggest fans in the world" when it's good and "don't care about sports at all" when it's bad.

Weird because BC folks have always seemed to be the type who would be ok with sounding (definitely don’t google it if you don’t know what the word means).

Good. Most people are dumber than a bag of hair so this proves we are the smart ones.

I don’t think that this was very scientific since most mouth breathers don’t know “what an internutz is” other than the place where they check-in to see how their latest fight videos with each other look.

Honestly the Flames should be happy to show up somewhere. They're probably in the top 10 most irrelevant franchises for the 4 biggest North American sports leagues.

I bask in the hate! I lavish in the loathing!

Never underestimate the power of spite in sports!

Hate away!
