Group makes ‘very credible’ pitch for Halifax CFL franchise

I guess if you CFA you don't get it. I would think people from Toronto would understand when they have a team with a 144 year history and more than enough people who would have no problem throwing that history away. The name fits, people like it, it has history and you can't buy that. There has never been any sizeable group in the Maritimes (to my knowledge) who have objected to the name. Maritimers aren't so vacuous that they pick a team name after "characters" in a recent movie. They are proud of their history and cling to it and usually don't give in to the latest trend. Let's give a little credit here.
