asked Tanenbaum if there is a solution to the league’s challenges, Tanenbaum said: “Yeah, I thought so, and I was working on it, but I’m not sure there’s alignment among the other ownership groups of the other eight teams. The community-owned teams seem to be satisfied with what’s happening in the CFL, so we’re working to see how the Argos fit into that scenario. I’m not happy with it. I’m not happy with the structure of the league.
These comments also make clear that all is not fine and dandy for the league in the aftermath of reaching a seven-year CBA with its players in the pre-season. Interview requests to speak to the presidents of the three community-owned teams — the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Saskatchewan Roughriders and Edmonton Elks — were either declined or not returned this week. .
Similar problems exist in B.C. and Montreal, though at least those franchises have newer owners who might have more enthusiasm about the product — and there are some promising signs emerging in Vancouver, wheredue to strong sales for Saturday’s home opener against Edmonton.
Mkor1980 What’s a CFL?
Mkor1980 I've expressed similar sentiments to CFL stakeholders for YEARS,they won't hear it. There's a lost generation of fans,no appeal for new fans + the false hope issues will go away, like a bad dream. All good things (and bad) come to an eventual end. rodpedersen BobIrvingCJOB
