#WeTheOther is the new rallying cry of the Toronto Raptors

Before the Toronto Raptors open up their Eastern Conference Finals series tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers, their mayor, John Tory, has a bone to pick with the CBS Sports writers who listed their beloved team as 'Other' in a recent NBA Title poll.  

As it turns out, the poll was posted before the Heat/Raptors series had wrapped up which is why the alternative selection to Warriors, Thunder and Cavaliers was listed as "other."

Mayor Tory ain't having it though. 

He posted this tongue-in-cheek letter to CBS' Sean McManus on twitter and it has since gone viral, prompting a #WeTheOther hashtag instead of Toronto's usual #WeTheNorth rallying cry.

And we're sure Drake is feverishly working on a song titled, 'We The Others' to be blasted throughout the Air Canada Centre when the series shifts to the six.
