I wuz ribbing ya', specially since July had already pointed out that to most people, the kind without ice is what they think when they hear "hockey". Gotta remember to duck if I peeve an Indian.
Meanwhile, I am shopping for my T.J.Sochi shirts...
I bet a bball game would be vastly popular. I myself couldn't be more disinterested. Maybe it's cos I am tall and blow at dribbling... I hated playing basketball, and to watch NBA is tedium incarnate for me. whatever... to each their own joy
