    Soccer is part of "woke culture", believe it or not. MLSE is willing to lose a fortune on TFC. They would not be so willing for the Argos.

    Well, over the past ten years, the value of MLS franchises has increased so much that losing a few million per year on operating costs wasn't a big deal. Let's see what happens over the next ten years.

    As for the Argos, I hope they at least try something to A. get more fans out period, and B. get more of the fans that do show up to sit in the East side seats so the people watching on TV can see that there are indeed some fans there having a good time.

    Yeah screw all those woke people and their fight for human dignity. Dignity, shmignity. And now they’re gonna kill the Argos too? Is nothing sacred?

    Soccer is a historic sport for a lot of new Canadians (immigrants); and is also trendy amongst all the trend-mongers and wannabes out there.

    OTOH - Canadian football is a historic national sport - game invented and played (at many levels) in Canada for over 100 years. There are 3 pro Canadian football teams in Ontario and 11 OUA teams and a Junior football league as well; somebody should add up the combined weekend attendance for those 3 leagues when they all host games and put it out there for soccer snobs to try to grasp that a large number of people like and attend Canadian football games. The CFL's TV #s blow-away soccer TV#s; sorry bout that though.

    MLSE types don't get the latter concept and have no clue how to market both the Argos and Canadian football. Somebody else might; and it would help to have CFL leadership and U Sports leaders on board to help in marketing the game (i.e. not that clown Ambrosie).

    Marketing help from CIAU/CIS/U Sports people who have spent the last 50 years systematically destroying Canadian university football's national exposure? No thanks.
