I don’t think anyone talked about the Riders last year where I worked or who I hang out with about their playoff game, but I know people were talking about the nfl matchups that weekend and fantasy match ups. When is the last time a lounge advertised to come in for CFL Friday night specials to bring people in for the game like they do for mon, sun and thus night games? When is the last time the PM brought the grey cup champions in for a visit? How many people go on sports trips each year to some US city spending more money then they would on CFL season tickets and not watch a CFL a game. I really like the CFL but that league really needs to do something to promote itself, people are not snowflakes or bitching about the weather or ticket prices, just the CFL is not as relevant as it should be. <br /><br />Anon number 9.

They have a passion for the game as evidenced by sold-out crowds.<br /><br />Sure wish we could have that in Canada, but there are too many snowflakes.
