I think its a dig at the Raptors not being a professional basketball team and that they ONLY suck.

Just called the president (of the Montreal Matrix), he said they made a mistake... they are Canada's first minor league pro team. Not sure if that is correct either, but if you can make a mistake like that no point in going further.

What about the Hamilton SkyChiefs in the early 90's
