You know, I've heard media types on Canadian TV call the NFL "the best football league in the world" as well. So its not just the average joe making these loony comments.
But if nobody else in the world plays American football. If nobody else in the world cares about American football. If nobody else in the world will ever care about American football. If this is the case, this "world championship" claim rings pretty hollow.
Like I'm going to call myself world champion golfer because I beat my freind today at the local course. Sounds crazy, but it has about as much merit as the USA calling their domestic champs "world" champions.
But it seems people up here buy into it. I guess they'll beleive anything that comes from US TV. I say open your eyes.
funny respones, to the guy that says the nfl is a one country sport, well i dont see other countries hyping up the cfl, nobody outside of the prairies, hamilton, and montreal, cares about the cfl. Also to the dude who says i worship the nfl steroid users, explain to me why the cfl has drug program if it considers itself a pro league, how come the cfl doesnt market itself and hold exhibitions games in europe and asia like the nfl. And people say that nobody outside of the USA watches the nfl, then how come the games are always sold out and packed whenever the nfl holds games in asia or europe. Also explain to me how come over 1 billion people watched the superbowl? explain to me why there is nfl merchandise sold all voer the world, yet the only place you can get cfl merchandise is at sport chek and neighbourhood sports shops?
to all those that rip the nfl, explain to me how come the cfl dont get no hype outside of canada?
Only on this message board would a Canadian article bashing the CFL turn into NFL vs. CFL. You guys really need to get a life.
What a load of garbage. There are articles bashing the NFL in the US every day. All leagues have flaws, some more than others. I’ve never seen a bunch of people just because of a few differences discount either league. When it comes down to it there basically the same damn thing.
CFL is not minor league football, last time i checked there are lucrative contracts out there.
NFL (No Fun League) What you don’t like football. Sold out stadium and big sponsorhips contacts don’t lie. It has to be fun for oh, maybe, millions of people each week.
I’am wasting my time with this. Go back to living your sheltered lives.
nfl europe is played in europe, and europeans play american football with american football rules/regulation, ive been to germany, finland, sweden, england japan, korea, and they all have pro leagues there and football is played at the top universities, so it all adds up to the nfl being the top league, the nfl has a strong feeder system with the ncaa, nfl europe, and european semi-pro leagues, so get off me, i brought the facts, i brought the life, i bring it live and in full effect.
[b]when you have university professors ,journalists, news anchors, doctors, and lawyers, and businessmen making more than your highest paid player, then YES it is a minor league.
If it wasnt a minor league, players wouldnt have to work full-time in the offseason.[/b]
I guess you are the only one who cares! To me I have gone to several NFL games and really got bored I would rather watch grass grow! The best part of the games were the cheer leaders. The game is played on a postage stamp field sort of reminds me of back yard football. Heck even arena football is more exciting watching guys get drilled into the boards. So just maybe you will grow up some day and think how dumb you are for liking a sport that is at best boring! But as far as the accomplishments of the NFL who cares! I prefer the CFL brand of football and really I am getting tired of the nfl trolls on this site! Is there no one dumb enough for you to chat with on an NFL forum.
im here to chat football, but people always wanna turn this into a nfl vs. cfl battle, i aint soldier, i aint got time for war, im here to talk pure football- hitting, smashmouth football- all day, everyday, from east to west, north to south, highways to sidewalks.
Yeah Bill gates and Donald Trump have more money than all the NFL players, that doesn't make it minor league. I feel like I'am in Northern Ireland watching the Protestants and Catholics go at it. This is complete nonsense.
It's all opinion.
Some people like rock, others like rap, or country. When it comes down to it its all music.
