leafs>raptors>jays>toronto fc> toronto sceptres (women hockey rteam) > Toronto rock (lacrosse)> toronto marlies > raptors 905 > toronto wnba team that hasn't even played a game yet > scarborough shooting stars (cebl) > toronto argos
I wonder where a potential Toronto NFL team would be ranked in the Toronto sports pecking order(when it comes up popularity, revelance, attention, following, attendance, fan interest, media coverage, etc)

Equal to the leafs?
Above the leafs ?
Above the raptors ?
Equal to the raptors ?
Above the jays or equal to the jays ?

Obviously they would be ahead of Toronto FC, argos etc.

Toronto was a much bigger Argonauts town in the 1970s-1990s than now. No one won’t believe that the Argos were on par with the leafs and the jays back then( I’m full serious, look back at the archives )

Most people in the GTA who follow the NFL already have their own teams. I don’t see many lifelong Steelers/packers/bills/patriots/cowboys/49ers/browns/giants/jets/commanders/dolphins/ravens fans in Toronto immediately leaving their squads behind to support the new local NFL team. They will have to target the young generation of kids because middle aged/old people aint going to be new fans of the new team.

Won't happen like 40 percent of bills tickets are bought my GTA fants. It's a shame Toronto doesn't have a NFL team

An NFL team in Toronto would prob be third or fourth

In Toronto yes
In canada blue jays are much more bigger

Out of any team though I'd say most folks under 30 are raptors fans more than any other sports team esp since we won the title 5 years ago

T.O.
CFL especially in Toronto was big in the 60s 70s 80s and 90s now its regional its still popular out west but not here.
In Toronto its looked at as minor league football.
I personally have never got into it...I cant get into a sport that rewards points for missing kicks.
CFL was a bigger deal in the 60s and 70s because it could compete with the NFL and AFL for big name players IE Warren Moon/Joe Theisman.
Now its littered with players you know have zero shot of ever playing in the NFL....
