Do you honestly think New York cares about some bumf*ck Kansas team or whatnot? They don't. I can't speak for London but having lived in NYC I can honestly tell you New Yorkers don't care one bit about maintaining some sort of national unity through sports or shared cultural institutions. They believe they are the USA period. Or something quite distinct and unconnected to it. You have heard the phrase "flyover" haven't you? It's not supposed to be flattering.

Torontonians don't treat the ROC with the same sort of pointed arrogance. We just don't think very much about it at all.
But you guys DO care deeply about sports or shared cultural institutions. We all know that Toronto loves to slobber all over its teams when the US media is paying attention.

The best possible thing that could happen to the Argos would be for the American media to start paying more attention to the CFL.
