What about Ben Johnson, runner?

Here's a list of 10 famous Black Canadians. Not a very distinctive group, especially when compared to a corresponding list of their American counterparts, is it?

Well, as for Ben Johnson: I figured mentioning a guy who went down in a steroid scandal was not the best way to exemplify Canadian blacks.

Which reminds me, we are also home to The World's Fastest (Formerly) Man: Donovan Bailey! And many other top-notch track-and-field stars*!





* Who immigrated here from the Carribean**.





** Much like singing sensation Sean Paul, actually.

As for your link (10 Famous Black Canadians):

I have heard of none of those. But that McCoy guy sounds pretty important! Good for him.

Ahem.

But we also have a black Canadian guy playing in the NBA now... 'Cept I can't remember his name... Hm...

Ooooh, there's always hockey players! Anson Carter, Georges Laraque, and Jarome Iginla are all proud black Canadians (well, Jarome's half-native, but still...).



See?!?

Double Post... like double mint gum... But a post... instead of gum.

I was at this game tonight, and MAN, did the Blackhawks look horrible.

Most hockey fans in this city could have told you that

Mike Smith really destroyed that fabled Original 6 franchise, didn't he?

Blame it on Wirtz... Smith is just his minion... what a bunch of morons...

I mean, with Daze and Zhamnov out, the team is just looking that much worse.

They don't look much better when they are playing

Why don't you Chicagonians rise up and demand an improvement?

They already have in the only way they can... they have stoped showing up for games, and nobody watchs the FEW STINKING AWAY GAMES that are televised (the moron Wirtz still won't televise home games) It used to be tough to get a Hawks ticket... now, the scalpers on the street can't give them away.

Show those stingy owners what's what!

It won't change until Wirtz dies...

I tell you what, we'll trade you Salo & Comrie for Ruutu and Anderson. Straight-up. Come ON!

With this management... you never know

Aaaah

A Hockey Thread.

The Canucks finally beat the Montreal Canadiens in Vancouver in their original uniforms.

Canucks lead their division and the West.

Who cares about hockey.

Chicagoans always have the Bears to feel good about.

Aah, it's no big deal. When you're from Chicago, having crappy sports teams is part of your heritage.
