I think the point is that there is a lot of "sweeping under the rug" in every pro league, so why does such sweeping only attract a 'bush league' comment when its the CFL under scrutiny?
I'm thankful for the CFL as an entertaining game with moderate yet quality media coverage (thanks TSN and QR770) and the only pro league i enjoying following without feeling the shame of paying into wealthy pockets.
