The Canadians Know What They're Doing

I played ice hockey all through my high school career. This has given me a sure knowledge of the superiority of the sport. Much of America watches football regularly, and they believe that it is the best sport. But they have not given hockey a chance. They are ignorant and unadventurous and they do not know what they are missing. Hockey is just as good as any other sport, but the bonus of it being on ice skates makes it ten times better. In Canada, everybody plays hockey. A Canadian accent makes a man the envy of every girl he meets. Surely a Canadian sport would do the same for him. If Americans don’t start accepting hockey as the best sport in all existence, then soon enough we are going to lose all relations with our northern brothers and the American girls will all migrate to the north.

Nice use of the false authority fallacy.

The use of Slippery slope is good. If we don't except ice hockey then all the American girls will move north.

I like the use of the slippery slope, although I don't like the consequences of it.

That is surely a bandwagon appeal.
It really is a great sport though.

"A Canadian accent makes a man the envy of every girl he meets. Surely a Canadian sport would do the same for him." This is clearly a false analogy.
