No matter how much either of you feel about those respective games, it is not going to change the minds of those that could give a damn. Just because someone has the love for something, does not mean everyone else has to share that love.
Never implied that just because we love hockey means all Americans have to as well. I am not so naive as to think that it will ever fly in the U.S. like it does here - except in the northern states (and maybe Tampa after last year, but don't count on it).

But the comment I was responding to was ignorant and belittled my country's national pasttime. Nobody up here really gives a s*** about baseball, but I would never come on here and say "what's baseball and who cares?"
