vs ten years ago:
NFL grown dramatically
NBA leveled off from an all time high
MLB grown dramatically
NHL grown dramatically, attendance is up and so is revenue league wide
MLS grown dramatically
LAX grown dramatically.
You are comparing a current CFL vs a time when they were near extincion. Further supporting my point. Of course they should be better than a point when they were about to fold the entire league. If you are not significanly better than a point where the league was going to implode then something is wrong.
Anyway you like the CFL, good for you, challenging someone's logic because they didn't want to support the CFL because the product is unacceptable to him/her is their perogitive and not one others need to be condencending about.
