The original deal for rights was just business; nobody pointed a gun at anybody to sign it. This deal for rights is just business. CBC trying to put the best face on it is just business. And Ms. Claman's people trying to make her look like a victim is just business. We are not dealing, here, with an artifact of historical importance. It is, as someone here pointed out, just a jingle. A jingle made valuable not by the inherent quality it possessed in 1968, but by forty years of repetition.

Sure, it's Scott Moore who's generating the spin but others at CBC are not calling him on the deception. <BR/><BR/>It's a shameful exercise CBC Sports has engaged in misleading Canadians. They calculated wrong, though, in thinking most Canadians would swallow Moore's Kool Aid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
