Somebody may need to explain to Stephen A. Smith that Hockey reigns supreme in Canada.
The co-host of ‘First Take’ took his talents of screaming on just about everything north of the border to give Canadians an ear-full.
That’s exactly what he did when he called out Canadian news outlets for leading off their shows with Hockey with the NBA Finals just hours away. He pointed to the fact that the Maple Leafs aren’t even in the Stanley Cup Finals as a reason they shouldn’t be talking about Hockey over Basketball.
Smith might need to talk about that same thing in the States as US sports media will focus on basketball/football before they get to talking about hockey in any form. Canada prioritizes NHL just like America prioritizes MLB, NBA, NFL.
