Nothing against the Wings, but seeing them win makes me ill. On a business trip to Detroit about 15 years ago I noticed that there weren't a lot of foreign cars driving around, for obvious reasons. I was told by numerous people that driving a foreign car around Detroit was asking for trouble (punctured tires, broken windows, keyed paint, dents, etc....). Yet I notice that most of the players on the Red Wings in the last 15 years are foreigners. So its ok for a foreign product to exist in Detroit, as long as it results in a Stanley Cup win. Having been to numerous sporting events in Michigan the last 33 years (UM football, Lions), I've noticed a good portion of the crowd are autoworkers. I'm quite sure many of those people have been guilty of vandalizing foreign cars, in fact I've had some tell me so. Yet there they are in the stands rooting for foreign players. Sorry, but the Wings winning a cup just reminds me of how hypocritical people in this country are. Its ok as long as it serves your purpose..............
And before the hate mail rolls in, yes I realize that not everyone who roots for the Wings vandalizes foreign cars.
