lost in all this is the Stampeders.
If the Flames move to Seattle, do they sell their rights to the CFL team? Or keep them?
If they kept the team I would assume that having moved a beloved franchise out of town, their other team/products would suffer a consumer backlash. Not really fair to the Stamps, but I could see it happening.
Wonder if any of that self interest is weighing on their minds?
Overall I see them waiting for the Olympic bid (if one is forthcoming) as their next/last best shot. From there they will either A) come back to the table B) move the team C) wait for the next election/economic upswing to try again
