you know that major leaguers are playing on every nation's teams right? not just the US team. I fail to see how a single baseball game has anything to do with the CFL though. I mea, your hockey team choked hard at the olympics, so obviously all your football players must be crap, right?
SWEDEN! OLYMPIC HOCKEY GOLD HOW BOUT IT!

everyone should just go to grim21reaper's profile and hit ignore user it makes everything easier
I don't think grim21reaper is really at fault here.
armchairjock, you love your country. That's great. But is your only purpose on this board to just come on an stir US vs. Canada debate all the time? I mean it seems like that's all you want to talk about. So are you a Redskins fan? Are you an NFL fan? Or was your sole purpose of signing up to talk about the CFL?

Yeah ... various people, posts that seemed to deliberately try to stir things up, confusion, and posts that don't convey the proper tone.
In my opinion, it is fairly clear that the NFL is vastly superior to the CFL in terms of talent-levels. I can understand why people didn't think there was much reason to debate the issue, since the disparity in talent between the two leagues is quite substantial.
But, if a debate seems dumb or uninteresting, do one of two things: (1) ignore it and the thread will die on its own accord, or (2) respond in an intelligent manner. Even when someone else says something rude or just plain idiotic, ignore it. I tend to respect others who don't lash out and who debate the merits of a position or ignore it. I assume that some other people feel the same way.
I tend to lose respect for people who are just trying to piss others off, talk trash, and make fools of themselves.

Come on Toblerone. The Kurt Angle reference was $ and the maple leaf joke was pretty good too.
You can put me on ignore but you will miss some good material....

By the way, where the hell do you get off trying to convince anyone that baseball is much easier to win than football. Where did you get that idea from?
Performance in baseball is much more variable because it constitutes many one on one battles. On any given day a great pitcher on a lousy team can dominate and win the game almost single-handedly. It is very rare in a cohesive team sport such as football for one player to single-handedly win a game. In fact I cannot even fathom a football player playing so well in one game as to be the sole reason his team won. I can point to hundreds, if not thousands, of such examples in baseball though. Again, your use of one baseball game as evidence that the CFL could win a game against a NFL team is severely flawed if not down-right ridiculous.

Must... refuse... growing urge... to engage in nationalistic name calling!
