I'm thinking moreso in football circles. The MFL wants to grow the game internationally, but in coming to Toronto, they would essentially kill the only other professional league. It's just a bad look and they can hold anywhere else....Mexico, UK, Japan, Europe.
Like I was saying it's not going to happen. The economics don't make sense for an individual Canadian owner or even a corporate one now. In addition, they want to protect Buffalo market which already draws southern Ontario cash. And the NFL already has captured Canadian interest, and ticket buyers. Seattle, Minnesota, Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Green Bay and some of the northeast teams get Canadian fans regularly. They already have our market. Placing a team in Toronto doesn't really move the needle much for them versus other markets.
