5. Poor Toronto

What else do you want me to say? I’m going to say plenty on the next four slides, so allow me to use this slide to just say all the great things about Toronto so they feel a little bit better following their four game showing.

The Toronto Maple Leafs still have a lot of good young talent and are poised to make the playoffs for at least the next ten years. And the NHL playoffs are a lot less predictable than the NBA playoffs because there’s no LeBron in the NHL.

The Toronto Blue Jays are still playing baseball and will play baseball until at least September. Will they make the playoffs? Who knows. Baseball is a lot of games. But if they do make the playoffs, they won’t have to face LeBron.

The Toronto Argonauts won the Grey Cup. Winning the Grey Cup is like becoming the top seed in the Eastern Conference during the regular season. It’s a cool accomplishment, but we all know there’s a better team out there. That team has LeBron. Or Nick Foles.

Drake actually looked proud to be a Raptors fan this year. We all know he was a Warriors fan pretending to be a Raptors fan in previous season, but he was 100 percent ready to die for Toronto this season. I know this because the man was ready to fight Kendrick Perkins.

Things aren’t all bad, Toronto. You’re still a lovely city with a lot going on. One guy from Cleveland is just super jealous. That’s all.
