I think it is signifying support for a political ideal
That I agree with, however foolish and juvenile the ideal may be.

But "standing up for your convictions" implies a level of courage. It's like calling people who vote "heroes." Being a MAGAhat at an anti-abortion rally requires about as much courage as wearing a John Chick jersey at a Roughriders game.

Never said he wasn't free, just said he wasn't laudable. But your attempt to shift the goalposts is noted.

Sorry you're no longer free in Canaduh, but remember, we did give you the chance to join us. Your forbears declined.

Point noted , but who is John Chick ?

Nice reference, I wouldn't wear a Henry Burris Sask. jersey though
Yeah, no matter who he played for, the Redblacks OWN him!

I actually have a Redblacks Burris #1 jersey. I'm kind of a fan of the team I like to call "the Sawblades."

One thing I think you and I can agree upon, the Canadian game is far more vital, interesting, and challenging than NFL.

That long, wide field with only three downs forces you to pass.

Yep, you can't put me off the CFL. I LOVE it!

My vision for the near future:

16 teams. 12 in Canada, 4 in the U.S. Four divisions.

I wish I had the money and influence to give Canadian football the status and recognition (and money!) it deserves.
