So to see a Canadian league propose to diminish what makes it Canadian at a time when there’s a real threat of losing both our cultural sovereignty and actual sovereignty … well, that is mighty upsetting.

It breaks the spell of the escape.

The more I think about it, the better I understand why this upsets me.

Sports provides an escape. I go to games so I don’t worry about important things that *should* upset me.

Just to be clear, my job prevents me from opining on politics, geopolitics or anything horrible going on in the world.

This is a safe topic, for me, to be upset about in a public forum.

In this era of hyperlocal, artisanal everything - never mind renewed Canadian patriotism - the failure of MLSE to sell this unique game in Canada’s largest market suggests they should bow out.

Not the Canadian rules in a Canadian game.

Alternate CFL plan:

• Leave the rules the way they are
• Move the Argos to London, Ont. or Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge and stop trying to sell Torontonians on a game they don’t want
• Go where the fans are, starting with Quebec City.
