Raptors are truly Canada’s team
The Toronto Raptors are an anomaly in professional sports because they have an entire country as their fan base. The Raptors truly have become Canada’s Team.
The NFL has called the Dallas Cowboys “America’s Team” for decades now. If you went to Pittsburgh, PA or Green Bay, WI you’ll run into a heck of a lot of people who would strongly disagree that the Cowboys represent them.
However, if you speak to any basketball fans in Vancouver, Halifax, Calgary or Winnipeg and ask them what team they support; their answer will be universal.
We the North.
