CANADIAN QUESTION....the cfl.....

[NJjuice22]

do people give a crap about the CFL in Canada?...do alot of people go to the games and what not...does the cfl still exist?.i dont know even know.

 

[seizer]

no one gives a crap except for old guys representin. Cfl exists, gets coverage, but its just way to crappy compared to the nfl.

 

[Razorguns]

cfl exists -- cuz canadian cities don't have the populations to handle a full-on NFL franchise. Except maybe Toronto, but if Toronto got an NFL franchise -- the CFL would collapse; so it won't happen.

Just like Canada -- consider the CFL --- NFL-Lite.

 

[theoak01]

funny because toronto is in major consideration for a NFL team.

as for the cfl,I think they would do better with bigger stadiums and more hype

head out to saskatchewan and you'll see some of the hardest core sports fans you'll ever see. I was there last year and there was the big rivalry game against Edminton.. there was also almost 2 feet of fresh snow on the roads and an inch of ice underneath... the only cars on the road were the ones with big Saskatchewan Ruffriders flags hanging out the window, and they were everywhere

Damn that is sad. Canucks should watch hockey at least since Americans can't understand the game.

 

[*MissFit*]

Sad i know

i have the data to back it but cant locate it

Intelligence is strong in this one, yes it is.

 

[wootoom]

wtf????? canadian football is great

 

[bluepeter]

CFL is very popular among certain factions in Canada. The game itself is better IMO but the players generally aren't since the good ones can make the big bucks in the NFL.

 

[superqt4u2nv]

CFL is a regional interest cities that have teams have a high interest in it with the exception of Toronto. I know some die hard CFL fans.

 

[*MissFit*]

i will povie number at a later date

Intelligence is strong in this one, yes it is.

 

[wutangnomo]

CFL sucks. It is supported by the die-hard fans, but other then that most folks are watching the NFL up here. If Toronto gets an NFL team, damn that would rock. Compare salaries as well. The majority of CFL players make around $50 - $100K.

 

[Spartacus]

I put some CFL games up in the bookie forum

 

[GrandMaster]

i've gotten to play in IvoryWin Stadium multiple times with my teams... my former Coach played line backer for Hamilton...

i dont mind watching CFL... but just not as intense as the NFL

 

[EnderJE]

Its right up there with curling.

 

[theoak01]

dude curling kicks ass,way more fun then football

 

[buffer1]

I don't

 

[heavy_duty]

Bigger stadium makes no sense man. Go to any Argo game at the Dome and you'll see how bad it sucks to have 9000 people in a stadium that can handle 50,000

 

[theoak01]

thats the argo's,Im talking hamilton,or a ruffriders game,a bigger stadium would pack more people in for sure
