I'm not a fan of east/west divisions, though I suppose I understand it given the size of this country. But seeing the same 3-4 opponents the majority of the time will get stale really quickly, which will negatively impact the supporter experience. "But rivalries!" is nonsense. The team is only 8 (maybe 10 eventually) teams. We see each team plenty of times, and I don't want to see any more of Valour or Vancouver each year at the expense of Halifax and Ottawa.
I hope that they don't go ahead with divisions. Or maybe I should say - I hope that they aren't so financially desperate to need to go to divisions. It would be a huge mistake.
