You can always find a small group of people to support a cause any place you go. That however wasn't the point. The point was that by and large, the supposed "world-class" cities of Canada support the CFL at a much lower rate than those on the other end of the spectrum. It's a fact.
And that proves what, exactly? Of course people in Regina support the Riders more than the people in Toronto support the Argos. There's stuff to do in Toronto.

There's probably also just a lower percentage of people in more metropolitan areas that want to watch live football.

For those of us in major Canadian population centers who DO want to watch live, high level football, the CFL is a wonderful thing to have. And I don't think any of us who do should be made to feel bad for enjoying it.
