If CFL fans want to see a 10th team sometime soon, they may need to back any approved owner, even one they may not like. :thup:
Support anything to expand to a 10 team or 12 or 16 and to be honest i Love my CFL but i would love to see 6 teams set up in the USA to challenge our Canadian conference or more …
Good read in general ! Makes ya think :thup:
Gliebermans have the cash and that’s what they wish to do with the CFL approval so be it lets not turn this CFL into some NHL bad habits of controlling peoples investments . Give them opportunity and help them to potentially better our league …( you never no unless you try ) …even if it’s over and over over again … but this would be different in totally different market’s you just never no …
Americans would probably be much more accepting of the Gliebermans methods of marketing than Canadians who can be quite, how shall I say, conformist in many respects. Just generally speaking, that's all.
Horrible owners in a horrible location with a horrible stadium.
Not sure, but I think this one is a non-starter. I'd give more consideration to a 19 year old wealthy Western student wanting to put a team in at TD Waterhouse than I would give this Glieber-fiasco.
True, Bleacher Report is about on the same level as this forum, journalism not at it's best shall we say. Actually there are some posters on this forum and I'm not including myself, that have posts here that would be regarded as gold standard English prose compared with some of the stuff I've read on Bleacher Report.
HfxTC, you may not agree with locating a CFL team in Michigan or the Gliebermans
but the writings in the Bleacher Report newsletter are of a professional standard.
Some articles from it are used on CBS Sports and Fox Sports.
Interesting musings but to really learn about The Bleacher Report read this.
http://bleacherreport.com/about
our pieces offer true fan perspectives.
What’s more, our stories reflect the diversity of opinions
and styles that are inherent in our massive writing community.
No other sports website exhibits more creative
and original content than Bleacher Report
Their stories are not the same old same old sportswriters spin doctoring.
Fair enough Ron but tell me, and I haven't looked at the link yet to be honest, how does Bleacher Report screen and interview their "reporters" before they are allowed to write articles? Do they go through a formal interview process with a resume and getting interviewed by a group like a lot of companies do? Do you need a journalism degree/diploma? Are there any standards for being hired or allowed to write? So far to me, it seems a step up from a discussion forum like this, more like a blog that anyone can create on the web, maybe a little step up from that perhaps.
As I say, I have to take a look. I agree the topics are somewhat more controversial sometimes than regular press articles but that in itself doesn't mean that much.
