Well just because it came from a main stream media member, talkidng to the commissioner of the league doesn't mean it's true. Have you seen the so called money that's allegedly being invested? I didn't think so. Please note this is an attempt at humour before writing a ten paragraph rebuke about the contents of above.

Clearly all of you naive proto-nationalists were too busy smoking the Devil's weed and listening to rock music to notice that David Clanachan is, in all likelihood, an elaborately constructed sock puppet being controlled by Duane Rollins in an attempt to appear credible. Those of us realists know this because we saw the Toronto Blizzard that one time. Clearly we must turn and see the light that is USL. Therefore, C̶a̶r̶t̶h̶a̶g̶e̶ CPL must be destroyed.

Now it's Robin's for me, which is still Canadian owned. Not to say that Tims still doesn't cash in on the Canadianna image, but it now holds less currency with me.

dyslexic nam Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Just for the record - holy fuck yeah this is awesome. Impatience was getting out of control, mine included. Soooooo nice to have real news to chew on. And the real news is great - from budgets, to mandated cancon, to the number of seriously interested cities, to the hires. All of it. Sweet.

Some things are semantics and others are the realistic vision. We just have to hope the execution and unified direction is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
