Bearosaurus_Rex

Do you have any feelings or reflections on getting to be an 'underdog' nationality in a major sport (as an American)?

Have you had any kind of interaction or communication with ethnic Eastern Siberian people of a similar ethnicity to yours? Any cross-Bering Strait hockey games?

(I'm talking about the Chukchi, Yakut, etc. Sorry, don't know all the distinct groups nor what it's appropriate to call them in each country.)
