SuiteSports Salutes America

America is the best damn country in the world!

We all know this to be true. I mean, few of us have lived anywhere else to compare, yet we couldn't be surer about the fact that the USA is number one.

So on this great day of Independence, Freedom, Fireworks, Hot Dogs, Beer and noble speeches, we at SuiteSports would like to salute America, the greatest country (we've ever lived in) on Earth!

All this, and more, on this week's edition of "Catching Up With Bob Lobel."

American History Told Through Sports Rivalries

By Joe Parello  @HerewegoJoe

The 4th of July is nearly upon us, and as we get set to celebrate our independence, let's take a quick look back at our history, as told through popular sporting rivalries.

Florida State Seminoles vs Florida Gators and Miami Hurricanes


Long before the white man arrived in the new world, the native people of this great land had to conquer both wildlife and the elements.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics: The American Revolution

This was as close as I could get to finding a Patriotic themed team vs something British without the cop-out of "America vs England in something." I mean, Celtics are from the British Isles, so I'm gonna call this a win.

Washington Redskins vs Dallas Cowboys: America's Unethical Treatment of Native Tribes

Not only did early settlers brutalize the native population, infect them with diseases, strip them of their culture and force them to move far from their homes, we still haven't changed this highly offensive team name. For shame.
