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.

The Raptors are currently holding training camp in Victoria, BC and have held their camp elsewhere across Canada on numerous occasions. They’ve held camp in Vancouver on four separate occasions and in Halifax twice before.
