My gosh you sound like one of these typical arrogant Toronto leftist NDP types - preach tolerance, freedom and acceptance, but as soon as something goes against your personal feelings you're as fascist as they come. The Argos have been in this city 100 years longer than the Jays, people like them and its a viable business. They have a right to be here. You use attendance figures that would have rivaled Jays attendance figures not too long ago as part of your argument but salaries in the CFL are what? 10% of MLB salaries, if that?
It would be like me saying I don't like those gay bars and other pro-queer businesses in the Church/Wellesley area. Probably a lot of other people don't like them either. They are blocking prime real estate to turn into even more condos. But there are others who do like them and they are viable businesses so what is my right to say they shouldn't exist? Gotta put in an example that you NDP types can really sink your teeth into.
As far as having the NFL team here....sure people would like to have one...I'd like to have one too. But it isn't even the Argos that are stopping that from happening...it's the Bills. So until Ralph Wilson croaks which will be another 3 or 4 decades at this pace don't expect the NFL here just yet. And if/when there is an NFL team here, that doesn't mean the CFL team won't be viable. It's 8 extra home games, the seasons don't overlap that much and the crowds aren't necessarily the same. The city could support both much like they do with the Leafs and Marlies.
