But bottom line is that wishing for more coverage, and/or believing it would help, will not make it happen. And as I said above, the media are dying themselves. The Globe and Mail and National Post have essentially stopped covering sports, the Star has drastically reduced its coverage, CFRB no longer covers it, etc. More media coverage would be nice but until there is a good reason for the media to cover the Argos -- such as evidence of increasing interest among consumers of those media -- it won't happen.
Correct. We will never know. For whatever reasons (NFL conspiracy) the media turned their backs on the Argos and CFL in Toronto. Years ago they made a conscious choice to not cover and in some cases denigrate the league to bring about more quickly the NFL dream.
