Most Canadian answer in sports history. I’m sorry for winning.

The responses ranged from proud admiration to amusement to eye-rolling as Americans often joke about their Northern neighbors apologizing for everything.

Canadians also didn’t miss a chance to remind that they won NBA Championship this year as well.

Dear USA,

We’ve taken the NBA Championship and the US Open. You can have both back if you just please return the Stanley Cup unharmed.

Sorry,

Canada
