honestly thats the only thing i like more. having to be 'set' before I play is low key kinda dumb to me
It gives a wide unfair advantage to the offense...that seems unecessary to give given how big the field is and how much extra space the defense has to cover...
@Malcolmxxx_23 you lack of CFL threads hasn’t gone unnoticed
Well them dudes got hands

It’s also Hard to take a 9-team league seriously. It’s the g-league/minor league/AHL of professional football. The Players who are not good enough to make it to the big league (NFL) play in the CFL instead. They have no other options because there are only two professional football leagues in the world. So by default, the CFL is the second best pro football league, but far behind the #1 NFL. When it comes to the quality and level of play, the CFL is also behind College football (NCAA )

In Toronto proper (416 city limits)
Raptors
Leafs
Blue Jays (definitely a distant 3rd)
In the 905(GTA suburbs)
Leafs
Raptors
Blue Jays(definitely locked in the 3rd spot)
The ranking depends where in the 905 though.
Peel region :
Mississauga/Brampton-raptors have the advantage
Georgetown/caledon- probably lean towards the Leafs
In York region :
Richmond hill/Markham lean towards the raptors
King city/Aurora/Newmarket/Kleinburg/Georgina/Vaughan/Keswick lean towards the leafs
Halton hills region:
Burlington, Oakville, Hamilton lean towards the leafs
Durham region:
Oshawa/Bowmanville /Whitby/uxbridge- lean towards the leafs
Ajax- probably leans towards Raptors
Rest of Ontario
Toronto maple Leafs
Ottawa Senators ( the only other Ontario NHL hockey team)
Other NHL teams (Detroit red wings, Boston bruins, montreal Canadiens, Philadelphia flyers, Pittsburgh penguins, Chicago blackhawks etc)
Toronto Blue Jays/Detroit Tigers (Windsor, ON is next door to detroit, Michigan
they share the US/Canada border )
Toronto Raptors
Rest of Canada (outside Ontario)
Blue Jays
Leafs
Raptors
People in the other Canadian provinces have their own NHL teams. Edmonton Oilers/Calgary Flames in Alberta, Winnipeg Jets in Manitoba, and Vancouver Canucks in British Columbia. they ain’t cheering for the Leafs. But Leafs fandom is so strong and present from coast to coast because of Ontario/Toronto transplants, interprovincial migration and the leafs being the second oldest professional club in the NHL. They were founded in 1917 and are as old as the NHL itself who was founded in 1917. Back in the day, before the 1967 NHL expansion, the only two teams in Canada were the Montreal Canadiens( from montreal, Quebec) and the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Montreal Canadiens were the team for the French speaking Canadians and the Toronto Maple Leafs were the team for the English-speaking Canadians. So for 50 years, the leafs had a exclusive monopoly on hockey fandom in most of Canada before other Canadian cities got their own teams. As a result, a massive leafs fanbase was created over decades. that’s why you still see many people who are multigenerational Leafs fans in Vancouver, Edmonton, Ottawa, Calgary, Winnipeg etc. From the Greatest generation to Silent generation to Boomers to Gen X to millenials to Gen z. Even if their hometowns/own cities have teams, they are still loyal to the Maple leafs.
The jays support in the GTA (greater Toronto area) is not as big as some people think. Most of their support is coming from outside Toronto, outside the GTA. That’s Because outside urban centers, baseball is much more popular than basketball, both as a spectator and recreational sport. The reverse is also true. The majority of Blue Jays fans who come to Blue Jays games in the regular season are from other provinces and small town Ontario. There's a reason why the stadium is empty on most nights, while the leafs, raptors and TFC are easily selling tickets and having sellout crowds. Affordable, or not, nobody cares about the CFL here. Its seen as a inferior product and a minor league sport. They give out free tickets and nobody goes to the games. The jays are not selling tickets like that in Toronto man. TFC is right behind them in this city right now. It's leafs, raptors, jays, tfc and the argos in that order . The Marlies might even have more fans than the argos. The leafs have their own fanbase, the raptors have their own fanbase. A lot of the jays fans in Toronto are Toronto sports fans. It's the leafs and raptors fans that will hope on the bandwagon when they start winning. They are not diehard but casual and fairweather baseball fans. This why the Rogers Centre is half empty during most games. If they get to the playoffs, the leafs and raptors fans will enter the building and buy the tickets. Their toronto-area support is not as strong as some would like to believe.
Just a couple years ago they were talking about building a stadium with grass because people in toronto were saying they just didn't like the Rogers center because it didn't feel like a authentic baseball park with the authentic baseball park fan experience . That was before the 2015-2016 ALCS playoff runs. How quickly some forget.

Why watch a knockoff when we have the real thing in the NFL and College Football. For starters they should cut the crap and play American rules. Grow the game and the CFL brand. Most Canadians are NFL fans anyways. The UFL will probably pass them up in a couple of years simply because they play American style football.
Don't they go to Bills games? Toronto to Buffalo is only 95 miles
30 % of Bills season tickets is Canadians but not necessarily people from Toronto.Its mostly Canadians that live right at the border (Niagara Falls region as you see on that map)
