I've stood by, mildly complaining while fans brushed aside any criticism of ticket prices/product and chose to focus solely on the game like it was thriving, while it was clearly faltering.

Then extra factors came into play like Covid and second tier leagues in the US and I knew the CFL was toast with it's aging fan base. They did next to nothing to bring in new/young fans, instead just relying on their 35-60 year old fans......ridiculous move, utterly absurd and directionless by this league over the past decade and a half. And it cost them the league we grew up loving.
Does that sound like I'm wishing it sucks? There's a ton of us that love this league and can't believe how far it has fallen under brutal leadership amongst tough conditions (covid being the worst). I've been watching since I was a kid in the 90's. And the response from most older fans is basically what you stated "just shut up if you don't like it and don't watch".

Well, enjoy what's coming, I guess. Without some serious overhaul, it's on it's way out. And most of us are really sad about that and wish there was discussion and a path to trying to save it.

BTW, I've been to two games this year and will be there tomorrow. How many games have you been to this year?

I mean...are you just wishing it would suck so your veiw is validated or something?

What a strange thing to say....particularly because it was a great game.
