Excellent article by Alan Beattie in this weekend's Financial Times regarding the business differences between the two sports.

How about Canadian football vs American football?

South of the border their football is watered down... just like their whiskey...:eek:

How about their beer? :eek:

As Don Cherry once put it:
"You can watch the game with 3 downs or you can watch the game with the fair catch".

As superior as Canadian Football is, I regret it doesn't qualify from a business standpoint with either US or British.

Canadian football is less about capitalism and more about the true sport...


...cheerleaders, beer, tailgate parties, bars, chicken and ribs, halftime parties ;)
