Canadian soccer coach Marsch tells Trump to 'lay off ridiculous rhetoric' of Canada as 51st state | CBC Sports LoadedCanada soccer coach Jesse Marsch waded into politics Wednesday, telling United States President Donald Trump to "lay off the ridiculous rhetoric about Canada being a 51st state."Jesse Marsch said that in his time as head coach he has found that Canada values 'fairness and unity' and is a country where people find strength in their differences.
He was asked about the recent Four Nations Face-Off hockey final between Canada and the U.S. and, as an American coaching the Canadian men's team, how comfortable was he with "all this political stuff happening right now." "These international tournaments for Canada mean something different now," Marsch said. "And as an American, I'd like to address the 51st state discourse, which I find unsettling and frankly insulting."
"And honestly it's one of the things that I've enjoyed the most about our team is that they exemplify this as human beings and as a team," he said. "Look, they're almost all first- and second-generation Canadians coming from different heritage and cultures, but they uniquely are incredibly proud to be Canadian, to represent their country, to give everything to each other and the love that they have for each other and playing for their country.
