[BCMA] CMA Clip Serv: Tories to help buy hockey sweater?]

Though I can understand both viewpoints, I think most people in the museum
community, rather than thinking "museums good sports bad" are just tired of
sports getting all the cultural and planning funding for so many years.
Especially on a municipal level.  When does the community museum get
anywhere close to what minor hockey gets?

Still, that sweater is a pretty significant piece of Canadian material
culture that I think needs to be back in our country.  We could sell
Hitler's limo and use that money to buy the sweater!

I am sorry I do not understand your sarcasm. The goal by Paul Henderson did
more to unite this wonderful country of ours than almost anything else. No
matter how you feel about sport, it does produce patriotic fervour in the
nation. Just look to the recently held Winter Olympics. Where else in the
world would people sing the national anthem in the streets? 

I do hope you are not of the camp that feels museums, good; sports, bad.
Both have their place in our Canadian culture. In case you are wondering. I
have been a sports fan since my Dad took me to a baseball game in the 1950s.
This same man instilled in me a love of history and museums as we visited
local museums on every camping trip. I now work in the heritage field and
have been a volunteer for over 30 years, so am aware of the need for
preservation. Quite frankly,  I am getting frustrated with some folks'
narrow view of what culture is.
