Ricky Williams: I Just Like Canadians
4th December, 2008 - 11:19 am
Miami Herald - Ricky Williams is returning to Toronto this week as the Bills host the Dolphins at the Rogers Skydome. He played for the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL.

"In general, I just like Canadians," Williams said Wednesday. "They all seem very nice and honest. In America, I think sometimes you're frowned at when you try to be an individual and be yourself.

"From my experience, that's something that's appreciated in Canada,'' Williams said. "Obviously, I'm not going to fit in everywhere I go so I really enjoyed it up there for that reason."

Williams went further, even saying he respected the loyalty of the fan base in the CFL, comparing them favorably to South Florida fans.

"Each town that we went to, including the hometown fans, when you go to a game, the people there are true fans," Williams said. "Sometimes, especially in Miami, you get people coming only when you're winning. Going to places like Hamilton or Regina, Calgary, there are really, really huge football fans there." [READ]
