I think Toronto won the Grey Cup and not a single person here gave a shit. The NFL is infinitely bigger here than the CFL.
nobody in Canada gives a fuck about the Canadian football league.
Just looked this up. Apparently Baltimore won a "Championship" in their second season, then bounced LMAO. Sacramento, San Antonio, Memphis, Birmingham, Vegas and some place called Shreveport also had teams in the CFL for some reason. As soon as Toronto gets an NFL team I'm sure they'll move the CFL franchise to some shithole in Manitoba where they give a shit. A few years ago Bon Jovi was part of a group trying to bring a team here. Not sure what happened with that. It's just a matter of time though I assume
So 2 years, ok. The only thing I remember about them besides them winning and leaving is that they wanted to call them the Colts, and when they couldn't they started calling them the Baltimore CFL's. I think they did pick a name eventually, but I don't remember. It was at least 20 years ago, and again, no one gave a shit. Lol.
I think the NFL wants to but it's on the list after Mexico and London.
That doesn't really make much sense. Toronto is the third largest market in North America (minus Mexico city) with am established football culture, lucrative pro teams in all other major sports, close proximity to the East coast and Midwest, and groups with the money willing to make it happen. I think Buffalo is the only obstacle in the way.
CFL games are played in stadiums while NHL games are played in arenas.
Have you seen the stadiums in London and Mexico City when they play there? Doesn't matter the teams they're routinely sold out.
Vancouver couldn't support a team. It's 60% hippies, 40% Chinese. Montreal loves football, but nobody wants to play in a French speaking foreign city. Plus it's a lot colder and further from other cities compared to Toronto
Yeah, it's a novelty game. The raptors play pre season games all over shit hole cities in Canada that sellout in seconds. Novelty. Also, the logistics don't make much sense for a full season in Europe and the exchange rate to mexico would likely lead to insane profit sharing to keep them afloat.
