Speech by Thomas Friedman of The New York Times....
"When we were young kids growing up in America, we were told to eat our
vegetables at dinner and not leave them. Mothers said, 'think of the
starving children in India and finish the dinner.' And now I tell my
children: 'Finish your maths homework. Think of the children in India
who would make you starve, if you don't.'"
Many of us think that Canada's national game is Hockey, which is wrong.
Lacrosse is the game. (NLL is the NA league)
But, Hockey is the best marketed sport, successfully marketed to USA by Canadians. 70% of NHL franchisees are in USA, 65% of all NHL players are Canadians, 30% from europe and russia.
