The issue is much wider than just the head coach, francophones have been steadily pushed out of all important positions in the Canadians' organisation even though the vast majority of fans, supporters, and ticket holders are overwhelmingly french speaking. It is not only a slap in the face but bad business.
Why don't you find out more about an issue before making blanket generalizations? All you are doing is confirming our prejudices about Americans.

Did not make a blanket generalization. I just find it disturbing that a person is disqualified because of language, not because he is incompetent. Even more disturbing, is that the government is chiming in on this issue and appears to be siding with the discrimination. Regardless of what your short-sided view of the topic, it's discrimination.
If you have never heard Ozzie Guillen speak, it's almost impossible to understand him. But, he took the White Sox to a world championship.
Everyone in the world is completely qualified to criticize the US, but when the shoe is on the other foot.....
