It's about peer pressure for bars to keep the NFL on, it's more about gambling and big TV names and such. But the actual interest from the heart of who watches football is more with the CFL and I think that's all across Canada, even if the bars in cities keep the NFL on and not CFL due to, as I say, the gambling and such. It's not interest from the heart nearly as much.
Like the porn analogy Xv. Have to admit, I love saying in public especially with "NFL only counts fans" that I prefer watching the CFL and only switch to the NFL is the CFL game is a blowout or is a totally meaningless game for both teams, ie both teams in playoffs and not fighting for a position type of thing. What I love is someone who doesn't know me and think they are trying to impress me saying they don't like the CFL and then I say I'm a season ticket holder, don't care about the NFL from the heart sort of thing but do watch it but the CFL ris no. 1 and the Grey Cup etc. Love the looks I get when I say this, - someone openly admits to loving the CFL over the NFL. It's hilarious. One guy kept saying the CFL is minor league, the players all want to play in the NFL where the money is big etc. And then I say back to him - so? The CFL is our league and the GreyCup is our championship and it's great to have our own league etc. The guy looked stunned and didn't know what to say. Again people trying to impress but they look like dunces to me that they can't figure me out. I love it.
