I think the key thing is it's this sport versus politics tension.

So we know that international sports success isn't really just about sport.
Tim ElcombeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It is very much about nationalism and all those things that come with it.
Jesse BellHOST
The first game to kick off on Saturday was also the last to end, due in large part to the massive amount of points on the board.
Jesse BellHOST
Laurier, the road underdogs, would jump out to an early 7-0 lead against the Western Mustangs, but Western would then reel off 34 unanswered points to take what would end up being a commanding 34-14 lead into the half.
Jesse BellHOST
Though Laurier fought valiantly in the second half, they could not overcome Western's double-digit lead.
Jesse BellHOST
A late Mustang score gave Western a dominant victory.
Jesse BellHOST
The Mustangs will host the Windsor Lancers in the OUA semifinals at London's Alumni Stadium on November 7th.
Dorothy McCabeGUEST
But as an individual myself, I was really involved with local climate change initiatives and actions because I realized as an adult how important this was and what's happening and the actions that I needed to take personally, but as communities we needed to take In Waterloo, we're a city of about 160,000 people.
Dorothy McCabeGUEST
We have the great good fortune of having two universities, the University of Waterloo, the University of Wilfrid Laurier University, and Conestoga College has a campus here as well.
Dorothy McCabeGUEST
So in addition to the 160,000 full-time residents, we have somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 to 50,000 students who come into our community every year as well.
Dorothy McCabeGUEST
And that brings a particular vibrancy and I'd say youthfulness to our city.

Jessica KimHOST
I'm curious, Emily, if you could kind of just talk us through where the Mustangs are at heading into playoffs this year.
Emily MorenoPANELIST
Yeah, so our beat reporter for football, Vilja, reported on the most recent game against Laurier Goldenhawks.
Emily MorenoPANELIST
I know that that was a huge, I guess, upset because...
Jessica KimHOST
Yeah, because Laurier was out of the...
Jessica KimHOST
Like, they were going to be out of playoffs should they lose, and then...
Emily MorenoPANELIST
And I guess from what I was getting the impression from Vilja, too, is like this game for them was more about seeding than like they weren't even really considering that they were going to lose.
Emily MorenoPANELIST
It's more about where we can finish for their best odds.
Emily MorenoPANELIST
But I remember or I saw highlights, crazy highlights over social media like of that game.
