I won't dispute the inflated nature of the report that the Ti-Cats have produced. That I do not question, as I have serious doubts that a CFL and NASL franchise are capable of generating impacts of that degree, even with two Grey Cups.

However, I personally feel this poor attempt of satire is unworthy of this website. This article comes off as a direct vitriolic rant against the sport's team who despite this poorly published report, are an asset to the city. The Cats consistently raise thousands for local charities each game, hold countless community outreach programs, are an icon of civic pride and cultural identity for all of Hamilton.

I would have much preferred an article supported by solid sourcing and good points highlighting the flaws, inaccuracies and misleading elements of the report, facts debunking the calculations contained therein and a modicum of respect for fans of the team, of whom many even agree with West Harbor location and the need for the Cats to not get a free ride funded by taxpayer dollars.

This article fills me with indignation and disgust. I would expect arguments of this nature and tone to come from the type of people who would deem the football's team report as flawlessly accurate and impartial, not from a non-partisan group who seeks to revitalize the city for all it's citizens.
