I can sympathize with him because it's not just TV or radio, he was describing everything Roughriders that's shoved in his face in his day to day life.
Grocery shopping? Riders related merchandise at every corner. Cashier and stock boys wearing rider shirts
Taking the bus home? Bus driver wearing a jersey. Then the people you cram in with are wearing green and are talking nothing but last weekend's Rider game.
Waiting in line at the doctor's? forced listen to rider ads on the radio, while other patients are watching a reply of the game on their phones. Doctor eventually meets with you and while he's checking your blood pressure, his small talk goes "how about them riders?"
It's tough to close your eyes when everything you see or do relates to the Riders. It's practically unavoidable. This isnt just a case where the fan base are supporting the team, but they're just obsessed with it
