Just talking about the shifting demographic, UK as recently written about in the Vancouver Sun, the story that angered the Moj. You are right, I can't stand the CFL but there are people who like it and I need to respect that.

The Shifting 18-34 year old demographic in the Vancouver Sports scene is a major shift in the works, the last half of the story shows why it doesn't look good for the Lions holding on to the no. 2 spot in this city. -

Vancouver's demographics have changed as well. Far less beer chugging--pickup drivin' white boys(typical football fans) being replaced by ethnic minorities from places where soccer is king.
Shit look at half this board...nobody lives in Van any more

You just described Bob the Moj to a tee

Yeah it doesn't help that soccer is the worlds biggest religion outide of North America, played in every country and that all our newbie immigrants come from those parts of the world where soccer is king.

The same thing is happening in the states, they are predicting that the MLS will eventually be one of the top 3 sporting leagues in the US and that the MLS will be one of the best soccer leagues in the world. They have a very smart and sustainable business model

the 2nd most watched sport in Canada is CFL, your talking out of the wrong hole again RD.

Go to the game and you will still see 18 - 34 year olds at the game, probably more than you see at a Canucks game. Whitecaps have a different set of fans.

the CFL game > NFL game, NFL just has better commercials.

Yeah so what?
The field is longer and wider and requires a yard off scrimmage as well.

Oh and let's not forget motion in the back field
And a single off a missed field goal

And only 9 teams in the league

And two teams owned by the same guy ( oh wait)

What other complaints can you come up with ?


Oh yeah, inferior athletes ...

Team named redblacks ...

Yeah all of those things are true

But so fucking what?

You think it requires more skill to score a touchdown in a ten yard end zone rather a twenty ?
You have no idea if you think so, It's a different kettle of fish. Clearly you have never played the game.

A yard off the ball?
Requires a different kind of lineman. Different skill set that the the fridge perry would have died an even earlier death in order to explain it to you.

Motion in the back field? another philosophical difference between the two games. Let's not forget both games are an evolution of rugby..

The infamous rouge ?

Yeah sorry we live in country that is thirty percent French, go fuck yourself.
The bright spot is that a missed field goal is still live. Run back anyone?

9 teams with same owners and formerly same names.
Yeah we live in a country on tenth the size of the machine
below us.. # Letsplayfootballanyway

What's the other one dickheads love to pony up?

Better athletes in the NFL.

No shit Sherlock, ten times the money, big surprise there .
But wait...
32 teams x 40 players per roster, no farm system and only arena ball...
I'm thinking there isn't really much difference between the 1200th best player and the 1201st best.
If there is, I'm sure you and every swingdick who puffs their ego on Monday night couldn't tell the difference.

Go ahead Laugh it up
I have no problem with football fans who enjoy the NFl

But leave the rest of us who actually enjoy FOOTBALL as a sport and shut up where you have no idea

The inferior talent needs the defence to line up a yard off the ball and have a bigger field to make completions.

Is there a single point for an INT in the endzone?

Ooooooooo, the NFL has a two minute warning..........we'll have a three minute warning.

Ooooooooo, the NFL has a 100 yard field.............we'll have a 110 yard field

Oooooooo the NFL has 10 yard end zones..............we'll have twenty yard end zones

Oooooooo the NFL has eleven men on the field............ we'll have twelve men on the field

Spinal Tap was a CFL parody.

I just think most NFL players are too fat for the CFL game.

Just like most NFL fans are too slow for the NHL and CFL.

Ah - summer the best time hockey fans can discuss non hockey stuff and get excited about it. :mrgreen:
