Canadians seem to love the "hype" and "presentation" arguments for why the NFL grabbed a solid foothold in Canada but it doesn't really stand up to scrutiny. The truth is the CFL lost a generation of fans because NFL football became cheaper and more accessible in Canada and the quality of play was far superior. I grew up a CFL fan, but there is just no comparison to the quality of football played in the NFL. The NFL is definitely treading into "pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered" territory but it's still much more entertaining than the CFL.
And the rouge is absolutely the dumbest rule in sports.
