There is absolutely no way that is even close to true.

#1 Almost every new era NFL stadium is about 600 to 800 million, mostly, or at least in part funded by local and/or state gov't. 4 years ago the liberals floated out the idea of helping Cdn NHL teams with like a few million dollars that this Country was ready to riot to Ottawa

#2 The NFL needs a strong CFL. I don't want to type my hands off, but suffice to say they have anti-trust laws that do not work in their favor if the CFL goes away. A nfl team in Toronto blows the argos out of the water, no CFL team in Toronto and that is a huge nail in the CFL coffin

#3 Why would the NFL want to take on foreign exchange risk?

#4 The NFL loves their 32 team format ... they won't even expand for LA (they will only look at moving existing teams)
