Well I'm glad they can support your team in some way...
I'd be curious how Canadian attendance for both the Mariners and the Hawks is/was this year and going forward. I have no idea of the numbers - but I'm guessing that it will/may reflect the total huge traffic drops at North to South border traffic this year - the 30% range? Isn't Canadian Vegas visitation down by like 40% depending on which report you read?
I can tell you that in Canada the current World Series, and the playoffs in general has alot of nationalistic undertones - hell, overtones here. Yankees fans chanting "51st state" - FFS. In the background, make no mistake about it, this is a national point of pride and a fight (proxy or otherwise) for Canadians. IMO. Not that it really matters - and perhaps it won't matter alot to most Americans.
And oh yea, props where props are due. Our bats got shutdown last night. Yamamoto can throw - That's for sure.
