Raptors on two game win streak!
That’s got to be the most exciting news for Toronto sports fans next to the Leafs undefeated season!
It’s the middle of December and the Raptors have put together a two game win streak. For the first time this year! Is that pathetic or what?
Unfortunately that’s about par for the course for the mighty Maple Leaf Sports empire, the empire that runs all pro sport in Toronto.
With the exception of the Jays, and oddly enough, the Jays are in the news for reasons that don’t require the home fans to hang their heads in shame. Anthopoulos is actually out there trying to build a winning team! Who in Toronto can even imagine such a thing?
Certainly no one at MLSE, and why should they? If you can build one of the worlds most lucrative sporting brands on the strength of year after year of losing, then why mess with success?
Just look at the post season record of MLSE’s main properties, the Leafs, the Raptors, and the Toronto FC…
Are you looking?
Yes, that was a cruel joke, I know, but what boggles the mind is that WE ALREADY KNOW IT WILL LOOK THE SAME A YEAR FROM NOW, AND NOBODY CARES!!!
I think part of the problem is that Toronto sport no longer belong to Toronto sports fans. They belong to the kind of “fan” who likes the prestige of owning Leaf season tickets, and as everybody in Toronto knows, the only thing more prestigious than owning Leafs seats is LEAVING THEM EMPTY JUST TO SHOW YOU CAN!
Which doesn’t seem to bother the ownership crew in the least.
