I agree with everything you said. As soon as the issue of contraction came up a month ago all Leafs nuts on TSN.ca started going on about get rid of the Raptors they suck, this is hockey town, BC blows, etc. There were also plenty of American media (NYTimes or NYPost is hte one that stands out) that were talking about the Raptors should be moved.
Again, I agree with all you said. Those who talk about contraction in the same breath as the Raptors are beyond stunned - they are ignorant. Raptors are one of the best attendance franchises over the last 15 years despite few years with winning teams, 4th largest market, one of the higher valued franchises, and they turn a profit each year unlike Memphis and Bobcats to name just 2.

This was just a quick search of Google News with "raptors contraction". Notice they are all American media who also state Americans don't want to play for TOR.
I did not agree with this but the comment and thoughts are out there.
"I'm sorry to be harsh here, but this is an incredibly ignorant comment made with obviously zero information."
I never make a comment without being able to back it up. If I do make a comment without information I always throw in "IMO".
