In addition, it seems that there are a couple of teams that seem to get more breaks or better calls than the rest of the teams and that can frustrate fans.

My beef is how many close games are determined by bad calls against one team. That ruins my enjoyment when I see one team clearly jobbed. I get frustrated as heck when the Stampeders continue to rack up PI calls (some warrented but many not) and teams like the Riders can mug opposing receivers and get away with it. I always like to look at the fan qoutes under the TSN story and lots were just like me talking about the mugging in the end zone of an Als receiver that wasn't called. If that was a Stamps DB there would have been flags all over the field but we know the CFL needs the Riders to get into the big game to generate money and interest but fans are getting tired of the bias as attendance is down everywhere this year and fans of the rest of the league are tiring of the Riders show the league is turning into.
