:yeahright

That probably has something to do with why George Wilson was talking about how Buffalo is way better than Toronto in terms of fan support. He says the fans in Toronto just cheer for a big play, no matter which team makes it. Aka they're football fans, not Buffalo fans.

Well, since Canadians care more about hockey than anything else, and the Buffalo Sabres are in the same division as the Maple Laffs, you can see a possible reason why.

Plus Toronto already has its own pro football team. Why would it need an adopted team?

I'm not sure if I'd consider the CFL truly "pro" and up to par quality-wise with the NFL.

You're not thinking like a Toronto native, which is the question here. The point is that they have their own team already. And Toronto CFL fans obviously prefer the CFL, regardless of what you or I might think. It's not real football without a rouge, after all.

Hmm, let's ask Canuck for some "inside info" on the matter, but a Vancouverite probably doesn't know.
