The NFL working in Toronto or Canada has a huge strike against it. Its not the fact that Toronto can't support a team, it can. Even if there is a suitableo stadium, the biggest reason, is the TV revenue. About 2/3 of the NFL's money comes from TV revenue and that revenue cannot be shared with a foreign team. TV ratings on Canadian TV are not measured by the U.S. Networks and as a result the big broadcasters and advertisers are not going to be willing to shell out the big money for a team that essentially makes them no money. It makes not matter how big the market is in Southern Ontario because in terms of TV Southern Ontario does not measure up. It can't.
