    Agreed. Of course the Leafs to me are an exception, because the Argos thrived for many years when it was just them and the Leafs. By default, I hold the previously all American leagues coming to Toronto responsible....especially the baseball team.

    Childish? Perhaps, but I don't care.

    I would think that the Blue Jays would deserve more hostility on this criteria vs the Raptors.

    Being a Jays fan is difficult for me because I acknowledge the hostility of their owner to the CFL and the Argos. So I admittedly have a small corner inside that is happy when they have a bad season because I see it as bad karma for Rogers, but am still happy when they win. Sounds bandwagon I know, but can't make one decision or the other.

    I get it. It's probably different for me and some others on here, because we remember when the Leafs were kings of the winter and spring, while the Argos owned the summer and fall.
