Quote: ‘Honestly, rooting for the Sens could easily be a top 5 worst decision I’ve ever made. I’m from [we're deleting F word so we don't get put into spam] Kansas, USA. Why did my dumb ass decide to cheer for a team in Ottawa Canada 15+ years ago? I was a child. I did not know better?’ – Ottawa Senators fan Kale Baire, who lives in Ashland, Kansas (pop. 900). He chose the Sens to root for at age 11 because he had never heard of them before. [CBC] [Tweet]
