So apparently there is a football game (American style) tomorrow. Now I enjoy watching some sports, but NFL hasn't grabbed me since the 80s. My circle of friends would watch that games and inevitably the conversation would turn to which was the superior sport, Canadian football or the American version.
The Canadian game has been around longer, and American players headed north to play the game before the salaries and the exchange rate became competitive(and there were more teams needing players). The marketing juggernaut of the NFL made it the destination for athletes to make the big bucks.
So the best players are going to sign where the money is better, which leaves the CFL with a tough job to recruit the best of the rest. The CFL always struggles to recruit a younger fan base just because of that juggernaut I mentioned earlier.
Granted the CFL game requires a slightly different player as it is often described as a faster game relying on passing rather than just pounding it out along the ground (some might say that's boring).
Oh yeah. Blah, blah, blah Taylor Swift.
Will I watch the game? I'll have it on.
