Argos at BMO Field

[Will]

Tell me this--am I committing some great sin by watching the NFL, purchasing their merchandise and attending a game a year in Miami?

Perhaps it's time for some here to look themselves in the mirror for some personal evaluation.
It's not for me to suggest some may be hypocrites vise vie their opinions and subsequent actions?
Certainly for me on this topic alone, my actions not only speak volumes it supports the written words.

I haven't a clue what you are talking about, so please spell it out. If you think someone is being a hypocrite, you should be specific as to what behaviour or statements you think support such a contention. Taking cover behind "It's not for me to suggest" adds nothing to the discussion.

That's for you to evaluate.
No one is saying or at least I am not, that you should only watch the CFL and nothing else.
For me it works, I don't watch the NFL, couldn't care less and I continue to trumpet this.
Also my own personal protest is further against Rogers for their attempts to kill the Argos and the CFL.
Save and except the season tickets for the Argos and the need to attend because there is no other way at the Rogers dome.

I do not have the time to evaluate each posters word or statement, hence the personal evolution.
Suffice to say people cant suck and blow at the same time.

You got that right, at least.

[argotom]

Cute!
All I know if more people here in Toronto and Southern Ontario held my position to include being nearly a 20 year season ticket holder, there would be no discussion of BMO, NFL etc.
Look at the west, Ottawa, Montreal and to a degree Hamilton.
There is no wannabe "World Class City" mentality nor the flowing Kool Aid.

If more people held your position then Toronto would only have one professional sports team. Is that what you wish?

Some people are still living in the 70's I guess. :S

[argotom]

As long as the Argos and the CFL are one, who cares about the rest.
Which reminds me what site are we on here and also to support?

[Will]

I am here to support the Argos.

I also don't think that supporting the Argos and the CFL prevents me from cheering for the Blue Jays, Raptors, Maple Leafs, Rock and Toronto FC.

Yes those were the good old days.
So are the 80's et al.

How can that be? There were other sports teams in Toronto in those decades besides the Argos!

And three teams - the Argos, Blizzard and Blue Jays - even shared a stadium without much complaint by anyone.

Ravi, did Leaf fans complain when the Blizzard played at MLG as a member of the defunct MISL?

Dream scenario, Argos get a new owner and stadium and the Blizzard are revived as a new NASL expansion team to play out of new Argos digs to piss of MLSE even more. oh to dream.

[paulwoods13]

It is not disloyal or destructive to like more than one sport, more than one league or more than one team. To suggest otherwise is silly.

Agreed, I hope Mr. Braley revisits if there is still a possibility at York University.

Wow. This will be the 33rd consecutive year I've been an Argos ST holder. Does that mean I've done my part more than you?

And about Montreal and Ottawa..Umm you do know that they went many years without a team in each of those markets, don't you? But, why not re-write the Leagues history in a way that suits your needs?

What revisionist history are you talking about?

LOL, I forgot about that little piece of history. I don't recall Leafs fans complaining one bit about that.

[zontar]

Weren't the Raptors in Skydome at one point ?
