by the way, I'm a huge sports guy and I don't have cable. So guess what? I watch NFL every week and couldn't tell you the last time I saw a CFL game. For this fan, the move to pay TV has lost the CFL one fan, even though I follow the Cats and the league online, I rarely get to see a game. This doesn't bode well for the CFL having any hope of retaining my kids as fans when they get older. Even at 7 and 4 though they can already rattle off the 'Let's go Bills' song because they are exposed to it. Free TV is one of the biggest reasons why the NFL is number one by a mile in North America now. I used to be a HUGE baseball fan. I remember running home from school to catch playoff games which started at 3. Now they don't come on till 9 or 9:30 at night and never on free TV in Canada. Sadly, I routinely miss entire playoff years of one of my favourite sports due to bad decisions by the league. My kids have NEVER seen a baseball game. Ever. Think they'll grow up to be fans??
