CBS Sports trolls Raptors fans with NBA title poll

The Toronto Raptors have faced constant criticism, ever since the franchise's inception, but they love it, eat it up, and use it as fuel to succeed.

Sure, the Toronto Raptors are heavy underdogs heading into their Eastern Conference Finals clash with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, but it’s way too early to count them out completely.

Right?

In what may be the sneakiest troll of an entire country ever, a recent poll on CBSSports.com asks the simple question: “Who will win the NBA title?”

But rather than listing all four semifinalists, the poll gives voters the following options.

And while this is bound to boil the blood of Raptors fans already frustrated with the constant dismissal of Canada’s lone NBA team, we’ve got to admit: Well played, CBS Sports NBA editor. Well played.

The now-infamous poll has even caught the attention of Toronto mayor John Tory.

(Editor’s note: The poll has since been reset and includes the Raptors, who are leading by a big margin.)

That being said, we’ve taken it upon yourselves to correct the poll.

Vote away, Raptors fans.
