    And how your types here just have to spin this move as an either or decision, and how the Argo "ownership" brain-trust must obviously be always in the right over the know nothing joe average fans ... is not beyond me - it's predictable. There's some real football bizness experts at work here folks - so shut-up and buy your discounted STs. ;o)

    We get it.

    You NEVER believe any management decision is a good one - simply because it is management.
    You have repeated this mantra ad nauseum for years, both in regard to the Argos, other CFL teams, and the CFL management.
    GOBs, anti-Canadians (or anti-"non imports" to use your dated term), and business experts/bean counters- all know nothing compared to the average fan who has no knowledge of costs, budgets, etc.

    We get it.

    Shouldn't MLSE be a breath of fresh air, or have they already become GOB's ?

    OV's just anti establishment, and always against the majority it seems. It's his schtick.

    "NEVER" - oh really - nice spin job pal; you don't seem that capable in the reading comprehension department or the ability to carry on a nuanced conversation here.

    BTW - just FYI - i believe the Argos made some real good football decisions lately - hiring Marc Trestman as HC; sticking with Ricky Ray at QB; finding some good new talent - like Wilder and Butler; signing /acquiring some good vets like Woods, SJ Green, Ball; making some good draft picks - like McEwen, Noel, (and hopefully the likes of Foster & Woodson from last draft).

    But yep - I NEVER have anything good to say about the Argos - just hated it last season when they won the GC with an under-rated "NI" like Matt Black making a huge all-time Argo play.

    Really sorry if I offend your poor little notions of how the Argos should be though; and for not blindly or dutifully cheering on everything this incredible, genius ownership corporation does. I get what you're about though.
