>>2451618Sports are a demonstration of a person's athletic abilities. International sports competitions are a demonstration of a nation's athletic abilities. So why is the United States, a nation of hundreds of millions of people, incapable of competing with nations like Canada with literally one-tenth your population and barely giving Sweden, a nation with an even smaller fraction of your population, a run for its money?
The shame is already existent, I'm just pointing to it. It's pretty inexcusable if you ask me. You punch FAR below your weight class and it's pretty indefensible, especially if you have the audacity to claim your nation as belonging to one of the top hockey nations on the planet.
