When the Grey Cup Took a Break: War & Disputes π«π
Imagine a year without the Grey Cup! From 1916 to 1918, the championship was paused due to the profound impact of World War I. Then, in 1919, a rules dispute caused another cancellation. It's a reminder of how much this game means to Canada, even when history intervened. #Canada #GreyCup #CFLHistory #WWI
