Saying Toronto doesn't deserve the Argos is like saying Montreal doesn't deserve the Habs or St. Andrews doesn't deserve a golf course.
If the Argos played in a stadium the size of Molson or Taylor Field they would fill it, or come very close.
Do the Lions fill BC Place? No. But nobody is saying they don't deserve their team, without even using the fact that the Lions are irrelevant to the history of the league and the game.
Just another excuse for Toronto bashing.

Well Toronto gets bashed because it is percived to turn its back on the country. Montreal got the same treatment. BTW I'm an NFL Toronto supporter from Hamilton so I have no reason to defend the CFL or bash Toronto, just stating isaidso is correct. The Bills on their worst drew 50k, Argos are playoff bound and drew 23???k, says a lot, action speak louder than words.
