dwertman Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 But is it an indictment for the non-recognition of hockey as a national sport here when I am driving to school yesterday and the ESPN Radio Sportscenter announcer discusses the 7-0 beating the New York Rangers laid on the Toronto Blue Jays the night before?

cameroncrazie07 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Yeah this is a joke, I've actually been watching a lot more hockey since joining the boards awhile back. And I actually like it, the media plays it off to be like a joke of a sport when its pretty cool, its just so misrepresented.

Don Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 At first I said "Whats wrong with them talking about the game? How is that bad?" Then I re-read it. Yeah....

It's not an "American" sport!? Therefore it sucks!!!"Which is, despite being American, a big reason why I loved seeing Canada beat the United States in the Olympics last year.

Magnus Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The Jays would never let the (NY) Rangers beat them that badly, at either sport. They might be bad, but they're not that bad. The Leafs, on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing more to it. Happens all the time.The guy that's doing the score updates and news is also doing other tasks for the live radio show....

loogodude90 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Yeah, I think it depends on the context. Was it one of those top-of-the-hour or "20/20" sports updates? They usually read those pretty quickly, and I've heard them make mistakes plenty of times. It probably was more of a human error than a "I don't know anything about hockey" error.It's not as bad as the Jew York Jets though.
