what else is new

Eventually Crosby and Ovetchkin (like Labron) is going to have to go to a city with a bigger market. Unlike LaBron though, everyone outside the NHL has no idea who Crosby is! I am the only black guy who does.

Most do unfortunately. I really didn't follow the NHL till I moved to So Jersey in 84 and some kids asked me who I cheer for....since I am origionally from LA I said the KIngs....they laughed but I have supported them since then. But if the NHL wants to compete with the NF, Cros needs to head for NY or some other Nationaly Known Market! Remember Wayne was big in Edmonton but his popularity sky rocketed when he moved to LA. If Wayne were to walk through a blk neiborhood, he'd be signing autographs for hours if Crosby were to walk around any major city no one would know who he is! Its his career..not mine but if he wants to sell the sport and his name, he's going to have to move. No one cares who Marion is or was..the only Lemeuix the rest of the US knows is Jocylyn!!!!

blacks make up about 12% of the country

as much as the liberal media wants you to think, appealing to blacks does not greatly increase the popularity of any sport

Is that why basketball and football are the most popular sports in the US? WHite guys are trying to rap and play jazz? Whites all the sudden want to play wr and cb? It seems whatever blacks are into it sells to the white guy. Hell when I was in Germany and Michael Jackson was a black guy, whites there (98 percent) bought anything regarding THRILLER!!!!

If Tiger was white, no one would give a damn about him. But because he's black....the interest in golf has gone gonzo....same for tennins and the Williams brothers!

they are more popular sports because they are the sports most grow up playing, hockey is for rich kids that live in cold weather

Well for 12 percent of the population, it looks like they've made those sports over popular. I've tried pushing hockey onto blacks but its not worth it.....they go to the game waiting for the fights...then leave wonderring who won.

iginla (PART BLACK) was great but he's not that great now.....I still hate the guy I hate him more than I hated Fleury!!!!! But if Iginla played for the Rangers he might have gained more popularity. Thats why I am pushing Wayne Gre ..... er...Simmonds to getting out to the inner city here in LA. He can make it big here.

There's really no time for fighting unless one team is waaaay ahead or its a boring tie. But they are set up so goofily. Our guy Ivinanas usually stands nears some other teams goon says something or gives a look then they agree...as soon as the puck hits the ice they drop gloves helmet (sometimes) then hit each others shoulder pads till one falls. They get up then sit. McSorley was my favorite at least he had a book already waiting for him in the penalty box.

They are what they are. But nothing I look fwd to unless some ones D man hit Kopitar or our goalie and got away with it ......thats when we'll send Ivinas or Handzus in to find the perpitrator. But usually we'll send Dustin Brown to blast that teams franchise guy...which raises temper!
