I'll take it one step further with the CFL...I'd say my opinion is maybe 50% unpopular.
The CFL is a joke of a league all around. It is a second rate league, that is nowhere near as exciting. The "our balls are bigger" campaign was an abomination...sure, the CFL uses a bigger ball, but that's why NO ONE CAN THROW THE BALL...it looks like a wounded duck through the air on 50% of the throws. You should probably consider using a smaller ball, and the game would instantly be a lot better.
The athletes are worse than in the NFL, there is no disputing that. NFL players are more electric.
The wider field in the CFL doesn't make it better...it just means you can throw the ball 35 yards for a 1 yard completion.
3 downs doesn't make it better...it just means there is one less down to get 10 yards. "Oh but that means there's more passing, less running, therefore making it more exciting!" No, the QB's are so bad that it means there are more 2 and outs, and a lot more punting. What a snooze-fest.
There are 8 teams in the entire league...every team has a one-in-eight chance of winning the Gay Cup every single year. Although, apparently there will be 9 teams again this season, as Ottawa is re-entering the league for the 87th time. Furthermore, the last time there were 9 teams, including Ottawa, two teams HAD THE SAME NAME. EMBARRASSING!
It is not Canada's game. It is Saskatchewan's game. Let them have it...what a terrible league.
CFL sucks.
