Sports fans got really upset with Sportsnet over the Westminster Dog Show

Canadians weren't happy after Sportsnet pushed the Raptors game off the main channel on Monday evening — all so the Westminster Dog Show could take centre stage.

According to its website, the Westminster Dog Show is "America's oldest organization dedicated to the sport of purebred dogs." The competition takes place annually in New York.

This year, Sportsnet decided to air the show on its mainstream channel.

Naturally, sports fans were outraged.

This fan couldn't believe that she was paying $250 each year to watch dogs catch frisbees.

@Sportsnet you made it happen a few days ago. You had the leafs and raptors on mainstream channels. Tonight you have the Westminster dog show on mainstream and the @Raptors are unavailable on premium sports channel, Sportsnet one. I pay 250 for cable/internet and can’t watch 🤷🏼‍♀️

And this fan couldn't quite believe the Raptors were taking second place to a dog show.

Let it be known that @Sportsnet thinks Westminster Dog Show is more mainstream than the Raptors #Raptors #WeTheNorth

This fan just really wanted to watch some NHL — but ultimately decided to make the best of things.

And this fan really felt the Raptors were not getting the respect they deserve.

Your network currently has the Westminster Dog Show on the main channel, and the Raptors relegated to sportsnet one 🤔🤔 #timandsid https://t.co/P6bRkQNZCb

Still, there's no denying that Siba — the black poodle that won the dog show — is pretty freaking cute.
