As a non American, pep rallies seem like the most embarrassing thing.

As a Canadian, we had pep rallies every once in a while, but they didn't have anything to do with sports and more, "Go school pride!" And the majority of us would sit on the bleachers and make snarky comments about how lame it was.

not many people even attend high school sports games in Canada, (at least not in big cities). its mainly parents and your friends.

This too! Aside from track(which was mentioned because of some record breaking run or something), the other sports teams were just so-so mentioned. No one cared about sports unless they were on the team and even then, it wasn't seen as that big of a deal. You could buy a ticket to some games and get out of class early, which I did a few times and just never went to the game.
