I am genuinely hard pressed to remember a comment of yours in this thread that wasn't in the vein of "oh oh, here's some ominous news"
Honestly, if you find the CFL that uninteresting, why not go find something else to do?

I'd rather some constructive discussion over why numbers are fluctuating or going up or down rather than attacking my posts. Is that possible?
Maybe something like
"Oh, the stadium in Calgary is old..." or
"Oh, the marketing is different this year". It's not as if the game isn't exciting - I thought last night's game was fantastic. So what's the deal? The product isn't really all that bad and the gamedays are pretty exciting, so why are in-person numbers dropping across the board? Toronto's season ticket holders halved over the off-season, Calgary's home-opener was the lowest matchday crowd in twenty years, Vancouver's physical gate is on a decline...what gives? Genuinely curious - but anytime I bring it up or ask I get told I don't understand it.
I'll routinely bring up attendance and viewership numbers for other sports and events in Canada but the CFL ones generally stick out as being on decline to some degree or at least middling whilst others show some positive growth. Will you chastise the posters on the previous page for discussing the lower viewership or are they exempt?
It's one thing to simply attack me because you don't like my posts but it's telling if you're willing to ignore the numbers at the same time.
