Too clear things up - I hate american football more than you I am sure - I have to deal with these people all the time and it sickens me - loads of American sports fans are fickle and have little understanding - I've been playing football my whole life and it's not easy being playing a sport that is mocked and misunderstood in the states so your preaching to the choir. but I am not gonna sit back and listen to someone tell me That most Americans are greedy! Thats Pathetic. ---I appreciate the explanation of how sports work in America---- but that is not the discussion. I'm just not gonna sit back and let someone bad mouth my country. And I've been supporting this team WAY before Gillet and Hicks came along so change your tone on your posts and Redirect your anger towards something worth while.
I think they are schmucks but its not because they are American its because they're Schmucky people. And Greed doesn't start and stop at the Atlantic ocean.
First off I never slighted Americans, I slighted 2, Hicks and Gilett. There are plenty of Americans who understand how to run a professional sports team, quite well. I could list off my favorites (starting with my man Zygi Wilf, Skol Vikings) but it would be irrelevant to most football supporters.
Second, I live in Canada, and 'dealing with people' isn't really a problem, the only moaning I get is about diving, and the rolling like a girl that ensues, I for one agree with these people. These people that are 'mocking football' sound like they have the same attitude as you do regarding their favorite sports. You get what you give.
If you feel I put you down by me trying to explain why American sports owners have it much easier than football owners, then you need to reread my post because I was just making it clear that these two clowns need to get their grimy prints off my team.
