I am angry, but I'm more of a Bomber fan than a Stamps fan. I just don't like the riders and the fad that is their football team. Fact is when they were losing for the last 30-40 years they had to be bailed out by other teams, their attendance sucked, and only the hard core cared. Now because they won a cup and have a competitive team each year, it's become a provincial fad, and history is being re written by their fan base as if they're the Green Bay Packers of Canada. Lancaster is a perfect example, he was boo'd off the field in Saskatchewan and treated like garbage since. He dies and suddenly everyone in green is a fan of the "little general" and statues of him are erected... hypocrisy.
Stampeder fans, on the other hand, showed up and bought tickets even during the feteri years.. when the teams OWNER had his SON playing QB. That's fan support. Not tanked up teenagers and 20-somethings drinking at games cuz its the new fad
