This week we get word that the owners of the blue team, and the rest of the CFL owners want to bring an NFL team to Toronto.
Obviously they would have to be able to draw seventy to eighty thousand people per game. Where are all these fans going to come from?
If thirty thousand blue team fans convert to the new NFL team that still leaves a huge gap in fan base.
Think about the following moves from this perspective:
hiring a CIS head coach, replacing him with NCAAers
banning the forbidden chant
changing the logo
trading for a banged up QB, then signing an NFLer
trading away fan favourites (Davis, Montford, Flick)
releasing fan favourites (Morreale, Hitchcock)
hiring an budget crunching GM originally from Burlington
not building a new stadium
raising the price of beer
not putting porta potties in the parking lot
It is clear that Bob and the blue team owners are working together to kill the blue team and TiCats then convert their fans to the new NFL team (the Argo-Cats)
