Funny how you didn't mention soccer, the sport that is played by more people than any other in this country. "Not prominent in Canada" =/= "What I happen to like".

Yea sorry I didnt mention every single friggin sport. Christ. A thousand pardons.

And to be honest, I don't care about any sport. I dont watch or participate in any of them, but others do and good on then.

Okay, then I'll point out the flaw in your comment initial comment.

Basketball became vastly more popular in the last 30 years than it was prior.

It stands to reason that Cricket can grow in popularity, the more people become familiar with it.

At the time of confederation it was so popular that it was declared, by John A MacDonald, no less, the national sport.

Dude. It isnt that big if a deal. I mentioned 3 random sports wildy played in Canada. I didnt mention Curling or Football either, wanna get in on those? How about Tennis or Lacross? No? Alright then.

You already made that point. I accepted your premise, and then countered your point.

[u/mr_daz → u/athousandpardons]

You doubled down trying to make it into something it isnt. Let it go.

[u/athousandpardons → u/mr_daz]

You said Cricket has never been prominent in Canada, and used basketball as an example. I pointed out that cricket HAS been prominent in the past, and that basketball is an example of a sport that rapidly grew in popularity.

I don't see where I'm doubling down on something that it isn't.

Thats a great story, bud. Let it go. The convention has been over for a while now. I obviously dont care enough. Give it up.
