USA has the most medals and canada has no medals. Why do canadians suck so bad at sports?

Question

I think Americans are superior athletes because our nation was born out of courage, strength, and innovation.

Canada was born from cowardice, weakness, and copying the USA.

Answer 1

Canada has about 34-35 million people

a higher gdp per capita than all the G8 countries, Australia, Netherlands except the US.

The greater horseshoe area around Toronto has almost the same size economy and population as Chicago.

the only 2 North American cities to be on the top 10 world cities list are in Canada.

Canada has the most ethnically diverse city in the world, the 5th largest Jewish population, the 2nd largest Sikh population.

last year the mvp's of mlb, nba, nhl were Canadian.

the 2 best pitchers on the best mlb team in the league the Chicago Cubs are Canadian.

J.Bay replaced M.Ramirez for the red sox

Jeff Francis pitched in the world series last year

Justin Morneau won the mvp

Russell Martin is the best catcher in the league

Steve Nash is the only international player to win 2 mvp awards

Canada has the 8th largest economy in the world (same nominal gdp as Spain but 13-15 million less people, exports about 2 times more than Spain, 3 times more than Australia, world's largest oil reserves, largest uranium producer).

most of the people in Canada live in places that have the same weather as cities like New York, Boston, Detroit, Seattle

Answer 2

Canada is stronger in the iwnter olympics and they definately do not copy america and don't aspire to be anything like them. They are all arrogant !

Answer 3

It is very nasty to target peoples weaknesses and indicates to me that you have a weakness within yourself!

Good luck to all of the athletes who have worked hard to get to where they are.

Answer 4

It's for the same reason countries like Norway do so well in the Winter Olympics but not nearly as well in the Summer Olympics. The people in those countries happen to prefer winter sports.

I would like to mention one reason the US gets a lot of medals is due to the sheer size of the team. Smaller countries that don't send nearly as many athletes aren't as likely to win. Not only that, but the Americans only dominate in a small number of sports. They seldom or never win medals in areas like badminton, handball, field hockey, table tennis, most marital arts events, most shooting events, and until the 1980s, gymnastics.

Answer 5

dont use such foul language for a country and its people

agreed they r not very good at sports..so the heavens donot fall

they can try harder and be better

if u win..dont ridicule the loser..enjoy ur victory but also give a hand to the vanquished

healthy is what the competition should be ..esp in sport

what else is the diff between sport and war otherwise?

Answer 6

Canada was born of peace, friendliness and we like to keep a low-profile internationally unlike the US who likes to start wars.

The US was born of aggression, over-confidence and people with no sportsmanship like you! Last time you yanks invaded this cold wasteland, you got your white house burnt down!

So how does it feel to have your own nation being insulted? Next time before you express your vulgar opinions, take the other country's strengths into consideration and not only their weaknesses...

Answer 7

Canadians suck at the Summer Olympics, they will do better at the Winter Olympics which will be held in Canada.

Answer 8

you are right!

Answer 9

hey canada's not that bad...they just have different priorities as a country. the summer olympics may not be their top concern...they excel at winter sports anyways.

Answer 10

according to a recent popular US Article.  L.A. Times

What's Canadian?

   It's big cold empty country. When there are trees, the trees go on for a thousand miles. Where there are prairies, the prairies go on for a thousand miles. It can be thirty below in Winnipeg through much of December, all of January and February, and part of March--and the wind blows from the north the whole time. But: Canada is primarily an urban country, out of contact with those vast landscapes. By far the vast majority of Canadians live together in cities, huddled together in tightly packed places dropped down in the middle of the vast empty landscapes, trying to keep warm together. Northrop Frye talks about Canadians as possessed of a "garrison mentality": we are so frightened by the oppressive vastness and threatening dangerousness of our natural landscape that we build walls against it, and hide behind the walls, in fortified garrisons of the mind. We see the natural world as something that's out to get us. Americans look at a big empty space and say, "Hey, great, let's get busy and conquer it and turn it into a city." Canadians look at a big empty space and say "I'm frightened, so let's get together and build a wall and hide ourselves from the big ugly natural world before it gets us and does us in."

  

Politically and economically, we don't actually in fact control all that much of anything (I speak here as a good Canadian victim). Almost all Canadian business is owned by people outside the country, non-Canadians--most of them Americans or American-based multi-national corporations. We sit, a tiny nation of about thirty million, perched over the top of a huge nation of three hundred million, slowly being engulfed. We speak proudly of the world's longest undefended border, but we know in our hearts it's not defended because it couldn't possibly be--if the Americans wanted just to take over completely, they could do it in about an hour and a half (and we believe they wouldn't ever want to anyway--see below, re losers and the lack of desirability of Canada as a country to live in or be from). We are totally dominated and overwhelmed by the USA. We wear the same clothes as Americans, and eat the same food, purchased in the same fast food franchises, and we read the same magazines and we watch the same TV shows at the same time as Americans watch them (but with ads for specifically Canadian Burger Kings replacing the American ads, so that we know we're really at home). Canadian bookstores are filled with thousands of American books, published in the USA and imported without duties, and a very few higher-priced Canadian ones--higher prices because of the small print runs that eventuate from the fact that most Canadians would rather read American books. I suspect all this is why John Gough, viewing us from the distance of Australia, can't tell the difference between Canadians and Americans--we often have the same trouble ourselves, worry about it a lot, and insist to the point of shrillness that we are NOT American. As a result, a good definition of Canadians is exactly that: "NOT American." We know we are NOT American, for sure--we're just not exactly sure how, but we know it will turn out to be something very important if we can just figure out what it is. And that's a defining quality of the way we talk about ourselves-we try to establish ways in which we are NOT American, or we just proclaim that we are NOT American as we eat our Big Macs and watch our Disney movies. We insist on a difference we can't define--and this of course makes us very different from Americans, who don't have to worry about any of this at all, and who know absolutely that Canadians are exactly like them.

. One of the ways we are NOT American is that we are a people who act like Americans but who are in fact outside the borders of America. We tend to be critical about or to claim distance from the American lifestyle we more or less share--we are somehow outsiders on the inside of American values--able to criticize the lifestyle because we know it so well from lived experience but also know we are distant from what we live, that it represents someone else's values we have somehow acceded to but are not willing to accept as our own. This makes us peculiarly objective about the life we live and share with Americans. Our great writers tend to be critics like Northrop Frye and satirists like Margaret Atwood. Our major import to the US seems to be satirical sketch comics and satirical stand-up comics--and books written for children. We're especially good at writing for children, I think, because we have the same outsider-on-the-inside relationship to mainstream American values as many children and especially teenagers have to the values of their more powerful elders. Canadian can write well about children because Canadians of all ages tend to think as rebellious children in relation to Americans.

  

Summer games is the "real" Olympics.

Greece did not start the olympics on slush.

Answer 11

How disgusting. You are rude and vulgar.

I think Americans are superior athletes because American cares too much about sports in general. Currently the Canadian dollar is stronger than the American dollar and is likely to remain like that for something. Perhaps Americans should focus on practical problems instead of obsessing about sports.

Answer 12

Canada is most dominant in winter sports like curling, hockey, speed skating. The nation's popularity is mostly the winter sports. each nations has its strengths and weaknesses  

Answer 13

Canada doesn't suck, their efforts are just focussed in other non-Olympic events. The Americans and Chinese are dominating because they have bigger budgets and more people. We need to be concerned that more affluent or populated countries aren't doing better, such as Luxemburg or India respectively.

Even though we're the world's best sporting nation (per capita) and as much as I love the Olympics, we also have to remember that sports isn't everything.
