They Are and Always Will Be...

It's nothing like the 1980 Miracle on Ice, but on Sunday night the US hockey team defeated Canada on their home ice 5-3 in the Olympic Games. No it's not epic and it's not really that relevant, but to me it's just funny. This is a sport that over the decades has fallen from grace with most of America; a sport where in most of the US markets the teams are barely making money; a sport that is dominated by non-US players; a sport that is NOT the national sport of the US; a sport that IS the national sport of Canada. Yet, on the biggest world stage we once again showed that it doesn't really matter, we will always be the US and they will always have just enough French in them to fold and roll over. It's just another reason they are 'America's Hat.'
