Are you an NBA fan at all? I follow the Memphis Grizzlies, but few people know that they used to be called the Vancouver Grizzlies. Kind of sad they're not in Canada anymore, since I'm Canadian. I've missed them since they left in 2001.
Yea I follow the NBA, i am in san antonio, grizzles are alright i guess 
Yeah, they've had it rough for a while, I suppose. They weren't kind of horrible in Vancouver, never won more than 30% of their games in any of the seasons they had here. Finished last in the division 5 times, too. But I love the underdogs.
Its hard for US athletes to play in canada as they get killed on the tax rates. but they have been better with the new owner
Very fair point. I'm sure Toronto struggles with that too; they're the only Canadian team left. That's actually relevant to why they moved, partially--the 98-99 NBA lockout led to low attendance, and the weak Canadian dollar led to the franchise to start losing money. Was downhill from there.
