The potential for Canadian expansion teams and getting more asses in the seats is a damn good thing. I'm tired of having carry teams like the Lions and Argos.
Toronto and Vancouver are big enough that they fancy they might get a real football team.The potential for Canadian expansion teams and getting more asses in the seats is a damn good thing. I'm tired of having carry teams like the Lions and Argos.
As are the Edmonton EskimosSome clubs are community owned. The Saskatchewan Roughriders for example.
CFL unveils 2021 schedule, Ticats-Bombers to open season
The CFL released its 2021 schedule Friday, and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats will face the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the opening game of the regular season.
The 2019 Grey Cup rematch will take place Thursday, June 10. The preseason kicks off May 23 with the BC Lions traveling to face the Calgary Stampeders.
"We're looking forward to hosting our comeback season in our stadiums, in front of our fans," CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie said in the announcement. "With this schedule, we're signaling that we're looking forward with optimism to playing in 2021."
The CFL nixed the 2020 season due to COVID-19 issues and a lack of funding from the Canadian government.
To limit cross-country travel, the 2021 schedule includes eight more divisional games than usual. As a result, not every team will visit every stadium at least once over the course of the season.
The Labor Day week - Week 13 - features five games:
The 2021 Grey Cup will be awarded Nov. 21, with Hamilton set to serve as the host city.
Its a go until the Ottawa Variant which is coming by June will change that. It votes by mail for you without you knowing.What did he mean by in front of our fans? Will we be able to attend any games in person at a stadium or in front of a TV only? Beer will be a lot cheaper staying at home. Lol. Will people have to wear a face diaper mask and stay their distance from others or will fans be able to enter a stadium mask free and fans will be able to sit close together? By May this virus should be gone. Well, maybe be gone. That will depend on our dear leaders and whether they want to keep this bull chit going. my feelings are that they want to keep it going. Just saying.
Maybe the natives aren't into football?CFL jumping on the band wagon and commenting on the Kamloops discovery is as hypocritical as it gets with not one indigenous player, coach, or manager in the league.
Or lose interest in playing it like Hockey?Maybe the natives aren't into football?
I have worked with many and they are enthusiastic sports fans who have had little exposure to the opportunity to learn and play. Ability and interest is not the problem. And Indigenous people would support them which translates into fast cash for the CFL. Instead they have skills competitions in Japan.Maybe the natives aren't into football?
Like any other player who wants to join the CFL they could turn up at training camp and give it a go. There are junior league native/white football teams that enthusiastically embrace the sport. Follow that by joining high school and universities teams and they will have the experience they need to try out for the big league. Nothing stopping them from doing just that.I have worked with many and they are enthusiastic sports fans who have had little exposure to the opportunity to learn and play.

I grew up loving the CFL, went to lots of games and spent lots of money but this is not the CFL of my youth. More of a good old boys with exclusive rights club who think they are smarter than everyone else and are in it for the money. They jack the price of a ticket for the Grey Cup to $350 or more but give away the same tin cup every year. Costs $500 to get new names added.
The whole global sports thing is overboard. To think it is actually an industry that people work for a living in is a bit scary. I am glad for the #5 defenceman that earns $1.7 annually but he makes so much he won't need any of mine.
