Damien Cox - Argos v TFC

[Will]

Oh, he's probably right.
Always going to question the motives of a Rogers employee though.
It is this type of attitude of pitting sports teams against another in this city as why most of the members here couldn't give a damn about the rest of Toronto sports.

No shit. I would have no problem if he wanted to write about a wonderful experience and atmosphere at the TFC game, but there was no reason to include the Argos in that write up. A huge troll job.

Funny how all these writers made fun of the CFL for having 2 teams with similar nicknames (although spelled differently with a different meaning), yet none of them make fun of how many teams are named (insert city)FC.

Agree 100% with this.

Agree 100% with this.

Me too.

What is not reported was the hundreds of tickets I saw being handed out to Bell Employees outside gate 1 on Sunday. 100% a double standard as when the Argos pad the house with tickets it is reported. I love both teams, both teams have similar problems. The Argos have a perception problem as most of their fan base does not go to the games and watches at home. TFC on the other hand gets every damn fan they have in the Stadium while no one watches at homes.

I'll add to this by pointing out that none of those teams should be using the non-name "FC".
They should be using the non-name "SC" since they are playing in MLS, not MLF.

As for mocking the Roughriders/Rough Riders names, I always point out that there are three teams in the NCAA's South East Conference (SEC) named Tigers.
The Toronto-wannabe Americans crowd usually shuts up when I mention this.

Southeastern Conference, for the sake of accuracy. They also have two teams named Bulldogs.

The CFL East and West were also essentially two different, separate leagues until the 50s. It's not like one league had two Rider teams from the beginning. The playoff format didn't even get standardized for both divisions until the 70s. The NFL also had some weird playoff format anomalies that lasted until the early 70s.


Two years ago, Cox reportedly agreed to terms with TSN only a day or two before he signed with Rogers. Not that I'm questioning his integrity.
