The shame of being #52

You get so used to the rest of the known world kissing Vancouver's ass, that it is sometimes a wake up call when The Sporting News labels you #52 in its annual rankings of sports cities. Not only that we fee 11 spots from last year. Oh the shame. Wait a second, people still read the Sporting News? Wierd.

Anyway, Orland Kurtenblog sums up the reasons for our poor showing, since The Sporting News doesn't give any reasons.

As for Vancouver, I think hosting the most successful Grey Cup in recent years should count for something, as well as selling out every single regular season Canucks' game. And don't forget about hosting the Canadian Open. But the fact remains: win-loss records and playoff appearances are at the top of the list, and the Lions and Canucks both bit the big one in 2005.

Apparently this means that the Canucks need to actually win, and not just talk about giving 110% for the regular season and then choke. I get it now. This is a coded message for that empty suit Nonis who is embarassing the entire city, thanks a lot, jerk. Over to you Dave.
