If you don't want new fans, continue doing what you are doing because you are certainly achieving your goal.
I can't even tell you how many Americans I've had LOL at "you guys have TWO fifty yard lines?!?" That attitude definitely permeates Canadian culture too.

They would lose all their current fans.
Why would I want to watch an NFL minor league. If that is what I want, I'll just watch the NFL. The CFL is a much better game.
The CFL has lasted over 100 years because their product is different. All the US leagues with NFL rules come and go. USFL, XFL, Alliance of American Football, WLAF, etc.. They can't sustain support like the CFL can.
The CFL is easily the second best pro football league in the world, and the difference in rules are a big part of their success.
