The US and Canada are starkly divided… when it comes to sports.

While millions of Americans will tune in for the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday between the Washington Huskies and Michigan Wolverines, most sport-loving Canadians will probably watch an NHL game instead. The Canucks, after all, are playing the Rangers at the same time.
