Thre is going to be 30 flags a game at the beginning of the season, and I believe something like that can turn away a lot of possible fans just as much as low scoring can.

Agree big-time AV: sick of all the rule changes in sport that supposedly are to make the game better but often don\t; and I am more of a sports old school, traditional purist i guess (?) - still po'd that the CFL does not feature 25 yard end zones (;O)) - the rule changes this year are garbage IMO - just as is the moron NFL kick-off rule now that sees most kick-offs result in no return.

Wayyyy too many flags in the CFL now with refs thinking the have to be or ending up as such a factor. Friend of mine who used to be a big CFL fan but is probably more into the NFL now, has been referring to the CFL as the Constant Flag League for years now - he will be laughing in disgust this year I bet.
