Geez, it's so easy to bash the CFL. I won't say it's perfect, but it gets a lot of crap from fans that other leagues don't get.
I get the Rider thing. It pisses me off too. I don't like their fans thinking their God's gift to the CFL because a good portion of them are terrible. I hate that DD seems to get all the weak PI calls when the other teams don't.
Also, the Stamps for all their talking crapped the bed in the WF. They came out thinking they were the best team and didn't fight for it. I have no sympathy for them. A team as good as they thought they were should have come back from those weak calls. The Lions lost in the WSF, but they put up a fight despite the reffing.
Back to my original point, the CFL is no different than any other league. How many people vow to stop watching the NHL it after crapping reffing? What about the Wings bias? Those guys can get away with murder. Then, Gary Bettman props up weak American teams while allowing the owners of Canadian teams to gouge their fans. The NHL has it's issues, but it's still something most of us love. Not many of us giving it up. Sure, we bitch and whine, but still go back to it.
It is what it is. No league is perfect. I just get tired of those people who look down on the game like they think their above it. I'm sorry if you love the league, but can no longer watch it. It happens. It's just funny how rarely we hear about this with the NHL. In a lot of ways, the NHL is bush league. How many Americans could give a crap about about it? I know there is a difference between football and hockey in this country, but I hate the double standard.
