And that will be the big selling point in why the government should help out the CFL. So why shouldn't the government help out the others if it's about ensuring jobs don't get axed?
Continuing with the women's league example since it's relevant right now, they could say with the league being active that not only will it provide jobs, but it will push the stature of women in hockey (and sports in general) further. They could argue that has more significance than the Grey Cup and history of the league since it promotes gender equality. And that's the flavour of choice with the current Trudeau government.
The CFL will likely get its funding, but others are gonna be coming out expecting that same.

Sure except the woman's pro leagues were a bust before the Covid Virus hit, they were pretty well in shut down.
The CFL by missing a possible entire season is in jeopardy of folding.
As well which league has more of an impact from a employment and tax perspective.
The CFL is far more relevant and historically significant then the woman's league.
