I consider myself a casual CFL fan but I was a die-hard for a long time. One of the things that caused me to turn from Diehard to casual was the constant poor officiating. I defend officials in almost every sports. I've done some officiating, I know its hard. But the reffing in the CFL is consisntely bad, and consistently plays a factor in the outcome of games. After seeing this season after season I found it actually caused me to stop caring about the games as much.

I know back then CFL refs weren't even full time and I thought that was bush league. Perhaps that changed but judging by the quality (or lack thereof) I suspect it hasn't.
