First of all, I find it interesting that the OP has not returned to respond to any of the comments. My guess is he is a Riders fan who simply could not stand to see his team lose two games in a row.
In any event- IMO there really is no comparing the two; it's like comparing Hitmen hockey to Flames hockey. Obviously anybody who is good enough will try to play in the more elete league. So the NFL will continue to be a league with higher talent levels. But why do people still enjoy watching the CFL? My reasons:
- Heart. There is more heart in a CFL hotdog than on an entire NFL team.
- Home Teams. For me; having never lived in the States or a city like Windsor I really don't have an NFL team to cheer for. I have a couple that I like, but none that I cheer for. However I have two teams in the CFL to cheer for; Calgary and Winnipeg.
- Live football. Like all other sports I enjoy watching football live. CFL gives me that chance without having to drop $500.
The one thing I will give the NFL is marketing. They do an awesome job of selling their product.
