It's when CFL fans (read: Riders fans) treat the Grey Cup as somehow being as important as the Stanley Cup, or spend hundreds of bucks on merchandise, or pack flags with them to other countries that it becomes pathetic.
When you realize its a poorly run 8-team minor league of castoffs who all work 2nd jobs during the week and treat it accordingly in terms of importance then that's fine.
You won't see me around Kelowna wearing Rockets jerseys, wearing various Okanagan fruits on my head and following the team to Calgary in order to heckle Hitmen fans, get wasted, attack police officers and get kicked out of the Dome.
Which brings this entire post back full circle and on topic:
Saskatchewan is no good, and neither are their "sports" fans.

When people get great enjoyment out of something who are you to say how much money they should spend on it? I can tell you I have spent a tremendous amount of money on the CFL and I don't give a rats ass what you think about that.
I have also spent a lot of money at Theatre Calgary and Stage west, am I throwing my money away because it is not Broadway?
The entire group of you that just come into CFL threads and have over the top reactions to the CFL should just stay under your rocks. The rest of us are sick of your pompous, self important, and arrogant attitudes.
