Here's why NFL in Toronto makes no sense:

- Toronto already has a football team, and fans don't even fill Rogers Center 1/2 full to watch them (don't think that the NFL doesn't pay attention to that)
- Toronto doesn't have an NFL-caliber stadium, and they don't sell out the NFL games played there
- NFL TV ratings do well in Canada without any Canadian-based NFL teams
- There are viable markets in the USA where football is huge, but still without NFL teams (Los Angeles, San Antonio)
- And finally, the NFL recognizes that the CFL is good for the NFL. Firstly, the CFL is really the only successful and self-sustaining gridiron football league outside the USA. Quite a few players move betwen leagues (the CFL has been a better league for the sport than the European NFL) and Toronto is the CFL's biggest market. Most Canadian football fans follow both leagues (CFL maintains interest in football here up in Canada), and losing Toronto's CFL team would hurt the football fan base all across Canada (which is currently growing, largely in part due to the CFL finding new-found success). Without the CFL, fewer people in Canada (and there are millions of them outside of Toronto) would get to see football live, and would lose interest in the sport, which would likely hurt the NFLs TV gravy train in Canada.

Like a previous poster said, the NFL will likely expand to Mexico City (a country that has no gridiron football, and a massive potential new market) before it even considers moving into Canada.
