i am hoping to go to this, depends on when my friends want to leave whatever place we end up at before the game.

Do CDs actually burn when a flame is applied?

(Oh, wait)

Well, I couldn't make one burn with a match, which wasn't surprising - I think the substrate is mostly glass.

This protest concept doesn't seem well thought-out. Books and old media willl burn and melt respectively, but it's a new age! It would have been more appropriate to declare a "Bon Jovi deletion party" or better yet a "Bon Jovi streaming repudiation party".

The point is that we cfl fans don't want the nfl in Toronto. It will kill the Argos.

Man U guys aren't messing around. Someone should send footage of that to a Buffalo newspaper.

It won't happen any time soon so its a moot point, but I disagree that it would kill the Argos, and I think we all need to get over that notion. Our league is strong enough to withstand an NFL incursion into Canada. Obviously the Argos need to be in a better facility, but that is the case regardless of anything the NFL does or does not do.

Agreed. Also in my opinion this is negative publicity for the Argos and Argo fans. I think the majority of the general public will see this as pathetic.

I don't see what a CD burning will do. What Argo fan listens to Bon Jovi in the first place? lol

Perhaps the Argos should hold it instead (joking of course)

**1argoholic** · 08-17-2014, 10:27 AM

The pathetic part is that people actually buy and listen to that shite. Please Ping don't pollute by burning crappy cd's. Ping will end up behind bars tonight after the fire fighters are called out.

**BATKINSON001** · 08-17-2014, 10:31 AM

I don't see an issue with it which is why I am supporting it. Even if it seems a bit silly.

It's possible. I wouldn't be surprised if a camera crew is sent out as a result of the publicity surrounding this.

You can't control how the media spins this story or how the public will see it. Be prepared for the possiblity it won't be positive.

yup. All we can do is try. I think one of the bills fan groups is also going to be there as well... No city should lose their pro sports team, or even have the prospect of it happening.

**1argoholic** · 08-17-2014, 11:01 AM

I don't think the NFL will touch a deal with a Bon Jovi led group. Bills belong were they are. But please everyone don't burn just break your Bon Jovi cd's and recycle them if at all possible.

Argos Fans vs. Bon Jovi…?

100% it won't be positive because it's the Toronto Media
We should have a poll, negative or positive reporting ..... And then give them ideas for headlines ..... Like yours.

The positive reporting would be .... Argofans support Bills fans .......

You people are being negative on purpose... I am trying to remain optimistic about it...
