If enough people think like Harbourmouth then that will make a difference.
And to me the reffing has been getting worse every year for many years, and we are setting new depths this year especially.

That is simply not true. The league has come from near extinction after the 1998 season (literally extinction - most people don't know how close the league was to folding at that time) to just signing it's largest TV contract ever. Attendance is up, advertising revenue for the CFL hasn't been higher. It's growth hasn't been the same as some of the other leagues but all those leagues have the US population to draw from. The CFL is growing - and continues to do so...
