And who better to tell us about that syndrome than a guy suffering with the American version of it.

Yeah right. You don't see me outraged that Trump wished a sports team good luck just like every political leader has done that since sports were invented.

He does plenty of genuinely outrageous things on how own without anyone having to invent excuses.

I'm not excusing Trump i'm pointing out that your continual haranguing of him and his administration is no better than someone pointing out that Trudeau shouldn't be telling Canadians who to cheer for, especially when he didn't have the decency to do it when we had 4 other Canadian teams in the hunt.

Now I could be mistaken but, could you give me a couple of examples of these PM's who told Canadians who to cheer for during a professional sports playoff since I can't remember anyone of them doing anything more than cheering for their favorite team?

[BRAH]

Why wasn't Trudeau telling Canadians to cheer for the Flames and Oilers? Wait they're from Alberta never mind.

[Sunnyways]

I don't see what the problem is and I had a great time cheering for them last night.

agreed thanos,hockey and political fanaticism to the point of ideoligical begrudgings is freaking weird

Fixed.

well, ideology and politics logically go hand and hand; hundred-million dollar sports teams on the other hand really don't have a solid reason to be mixed with notions of ideology.

Well every Olympics for one but heres another example from a quick google.

$1:

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper weighed in on NBA All-Star voting, urging Canadians to vote for Kyle Lowry as a starter for the Eastern Conference team.

And how can you not see the lunacy of freakiing out over "told Canadians who to cheer for"? "OMG he said 'have a nice day!' He's telling me what to do! Dictator! Help! Help!"

Nobody's freaking out, I'm just pointing out that it's inappropriate to have the PM pick one Canadian team and then tell everyone to cheer for it without having done it for the other 4 teams. But on the plus side at least he waited till they were eliminated before telling us who to cheer for.

And a big thanks for pointing out that Harper tried to sway the vote and get Lowery picked as an all star by using twitter, a medium that holds sway over vast swaths of the sport watching population. But, for the record that's just as inappropriate as Justin urging us to cheer for the Sen's.

Besides, if we have the politicians telling us how to think and act what will Hollywood celebrities have left to do.

[BeaverFever]

He's not "telling" anyone how to think or act any more than you are "telling" people what to do when you make a suggestion. And it's not inappropriate for Harper or Trudeau to encourage Canadians to support the Canadian team. That's part of what they're expected to do.
