Sure, but then baseball came here, the team was beloved and then had owners who didn't want to spend money to support the team, especially one in a shitty stadium. People cared less and less about the sport. I have no doubt that a team would rejuvenate the province's love for baseball, but as I said, I doubt anything will be happening any time soon. Our chance was a few years ago, but we couldn't get a stadium and Tampa / Oakland were screwing with their own fans. Oakland are now moving to Las Vegas, and Tampa, who knows... but without a stadium, we have no chance. The split season thing was always a horrible idea, too.
I just don't think the NFL will ever have a team in Canada, and if they do, I'd imagine Toronto is really the only place they'd consider. I love the NFL, and would love to be able to get annoyed at the Jets in person more easily, but I honestly don't see any possible scenario where it happens.
