I was reading the wikipedia on Moose Jaw, Canada, and about the KKK's presence when I came to the following line.
It was the last rally, but in 1929 the KKK sponsored a Labour Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Day#Canada) picnic in River Park. There were racist speeches and a cross burning, but the focus of the day was on sporting events.[12] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose_Jaw#cite_note-11)[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose_Jaw#cite_note-12) :haha:
Just thinking of a bunch of KKK supporters playing sports in their robes, and thinking of the sports they might play, is hilarious. I have a picture of them playing Hockey fully robed, or having lynching contests. KKK and sporting events are exact opposites.
