So can the head coach a week before the start of the regular season, what a joke, CFL beginning to unravel in many ways, Lions played before an empty stadium in BC last night, sad times for the CFL in Canada's big three cities!

The CFL will have continual trouble staying alive. You can only afford to support a certain amount of teams with your dollar.
Toronto -- has terrible attendance ( compete with Leafs, Raptors, Blue Jays, and soccer. ) I don't know why anyone would want to own the Argos -- "unless your a masochist."
Montreal --same thing ( Habs, and soccer is growing)
BC -- same thing ( Canucks, and soccer is growing) A lot of the population in BC is Asian, and they don't seem to like the CFL .
People only have so much money, and they want to see the best talent in the world play. They will support the NHL, and some will support the NBA, and now soccer is cutting into the entertainment dollar. Something will give here at some point. You can only stretch the dollar so far, and your average family man or woman only makes around $ 50 K, and half goes to income tax.
The CFL is only surviving on it's "tradition", and with that being said, if they can't get attendance up in the bigger markets, we just may see the CFL fold -- which would be a shame, for the smaller cities that support it and love it.
It's all the "smaller market" cities like Regina, Calgary, Winnipeg etc. that support the CFL. It's really quite a mess. I certainly wouldn't put my money into a CFL franchise.
