You claim to be a writer? Lesson one- check and recheck your facts before putting it in print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHL is not a major sport when Spongebob Squarepants reruns draw higher ratings than the Stanley Cup Finals.Yankees = biggest chokers in the history of major professional sports in America.

America has proven to care abouth both of those sports considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
