National viewership and national image are two different things. The Blue Jays created quite the stir removing the red and the maple leaf from their jerseys when they went to the current logo.
The Jays had been Canada's team for a very long time before Rogers came in. Now they are more interested in pushing themelves as Toronto's team. Not that there is a whole lot wrong with that, simply that Bloom is arguing a course of action these men have rejected.

I would hardly call an average of 27,500 terrible.
