A discussion with Dan Shulman revolved around many topics including the Japanese vs American style of baseball. This lead me to think the following: "Are we as Canadians closer to the American style of sports (chest pounding, highlight-reel) or closer to the Japanese style of sports (focus on team, not "me-me-me")? I think there are elements where we are like the US style of sport, but upon reflection, it seems that we are much more closer linked to the American style of sport. Look at Don Cherry's latest attack on Ovechkin's celebration of his 50th goal, and how "good Canadian boys celebrate with honor, dignity and restraint" (ok, maybe he didn't word it EXACTLY that way.)
Who would have thought we'd have more in common with the Japanese than the US?
