Even though throughout history the most powerful always bend and break the rules. Probably why canada is a weak country that relies on alliances with other countries to remain safe. Yes I just compared sports to the military and economic standing.

That being said the blue jays are really the only toronto team I truly care about. It's cool if the raptors win but its funny seeing them lose and the we the north fan base tremble with sadness. Toronto fans thinks it's the best but the rest of the cities probably find it obnoxious lime the drunk dude that won't shut up.
Oh I know he generates money but the rules are the rules.. Besides, even in the U.S professional sports players have been suspended for violating the rules.. He can't keep flagrantly thumbing his nose at the rules or it'll escalate to the point that he becomes a burden as opposed to an asset. Now is the time to get him in line.. Its for his own good.

How? Do you even know who Dwayne wade is? I'd suggest you look him up. Rather than speak on subjects you clearly know nothing about. Hell get a warning in a closed setting but that's it. He's to big of a super Stat and america treats there stars WELL! TRUST ME.

Look I knows its been awhile and you are excited to be engaging in discussion with me again but you don't have to be condescending and deliberately trying to hurt my feelings. I clearly wrote that he should get a warning. I didn't say he should get a suspension right off the bat.. Now after that closed door meeting he does it again than yes he should get suspended. Big super stars in the NBA have been suspended before for breaking the rules. Doesn't mean they aren't treated well.

I dot care about your feelings. You know nothing about basketball and the nba. You came in here to whine about a player who clearly doesn't care about the canadian national anthem. Only Canadians really care. And in case you didn't notice. The Miami Heat are with much more than the toronto raptors. In america money talks the loudest. They ate not going to suspend the biggest superstar of the series and risk millions of dollars in viewership doing so because it is the right thing or some Canadians feelings got hurt. Money talks in america.

Toronto going to be nuts for for game 7. But I know the rest are going to to see if Dwayne wade is going to Dwayne wade.

I do think Lowry or DeRozan is gone after this so this may be the closet they get to a championship in a while.
