Mediocrity?? Let's look back at 2010
Getting an all-time record for most golds in a single tournament = mediocre?
Literally all of Canada has snow, so every Canadian has an opportunity to learn Winter Olympic sports at a young age. Half of America never sees snow.
Seriously, Winter Olympics are just rich white people excelling at sports that poor minorities can't afford to play. Why I can't take Winter Sports seriously as top competition.
Sorry all of America's top athletes are busy playing sports you actually get paid to be good at/ aren't boring as watching paint dry.

Which one of those sentences describes hockey, pray tell
See the post before the post you quoted.
Hockey is cool though, and I guess people get paid. The fact is that it's a regional sport and most of America isn't able to be exposed to it. If you live in the South and want to play Hockey you have to have money to be able to access the facilities necessary. Eliminates a huge portion of the athletic population of America.
Also, even if they could, it would still be the 4th most popular sport. I'm guessing Hockey is the most popular in Canada, maybe 2nd behind soccer.

Hockey is definitely the most popular sport in Canada. Our culture is steeped, and embedded within it. Soccer, and basketball are both popular (soccer moreso, basketball continues to grow)-- but hockey is simply on another level IMO.
what thang?
