Humble Beginnings: The Grey Cup's $48 Start! 🏆💰

Did you know this iconic trophy cost just $48 to make? In 1909, Earl Grey donated a simple sterling-silver chalice on a wooden base. From those humble beginnings, it grew into Canada's most cherished football prize. Imagine what that $48 would buy today! #Canada #GreyCup #CFLHistory #CanadianFootball

I agree completely that the No Fun League is boring and unwatchable, and that these changes - no matter what Stewart Johnston claims is the reason - are trying to turn Canadian football into "NFL Lite" football.

Why? A stupid attempt at chasing dollars, I think. They see the huge Canadian NFL audience and think they can change the Canadian game, and that audience will then come watch CFL! No. The people who watch NFL instead of CFL aren't going to be interested in NFL Lite. It will, however, drive away many of the CFL's existing fans.

My partner and I watch all the games, every week. If these changes go into effect, we'll just stop watching, completely. She asked me the very pertinent question "Why does one man, newly appointed commissioner, get to change the historic rules of a hundred-year-old Canadian tradition? Without even consulting fans?".

If these rule changes take effect, Stewart Johnston will be known as the man that killed Canadian football.

Save the CFL!
