So you are saying that this is a brilliant marketing move akin to new Coke (for those old enough to remember)? - Put out a new worse product - Get everyone upset and emotionally involved realize they care. - Bring back CFL classic in a few years and watch ratings soar!

If you aren’t in the prairies or you are under 55, you prefer the NFL. https://sports.betmgm.ca/en/blog/cfl/is-nfl-more-popular-than-cfl-in-canada-bm17/

I don't mind these changes. Keeping 3 downs, the motion, the width of the field, no fair catch, the extra player are all key. Willing to give these a chance and see what it does to the game.

Article from earlier this year where commish says only Winnipeg and Saskatchewan made money last year. That isn’t sustainable as a business model so something has to change. https://globalnews.ca/news/11263497/cfl-commissioner-league-financial-struggles/amp/ This article seems to be around diversifying off TSN. But I wouldn’t call that big changes to the game.

I agree with you. I think young people aren’t watching because it isn’t “the league” This doesn’t change that.

To be fair no one is actually saying NFL. But it is more around these changes are significant. League needs to change for revenue, too many teams losing money. Don’t know what else this could be, especially with the influence MLSE has now.

Reading through the CFL “insiders” on Twitter, sentiment seems to be to start preparing for NFL style rule changes.
