From an outsider's perspective, the Green Riders being bad (and this season, horribly bad) is bad for the league. They have the most rabid fan base, and when they are horrid, my take is this is being shown in TV numbers and possibly attendance at games where Riders are the visiting team (this is to be seen over the 2nd half of the year).

Granted, somebody has to suck, but for the league's health and publicity as a whole, it would be better if the Riders were not the worst team in the league and remained competitive record-wise.

There is no solution here or action to be taken, this is just an observation.
