The Argos, TFC and Rock might have at most a few, if any, comments per story.

The point is that anyone who thinks that TFC is surging in popularity with hordes of devoted followers probably needs a reality check.
There you guys go again with your world-class logic, the Toronto Sun is a joke newspaper, given out freely at construction sites and factories in the GTA, and well read among right wing nutjobs. Toronto FC attracts a completely different demographic. TFC attracts a younger and more educated demographic and a good chunk of their supporters are also women. I have nothing against the CFL but some of their supporters are so myopic and illogical that it blows the mind, at least you guys haven't gone down the path of Toronto-bashing which is quite common with CFL fans nowadays...

I've lost track of "F**k Toronto!" type rants in various media/forums by CFL fans. It seems that the city is always to blame for the Argos providing a crappily branded and promoted product. Toronto has a reputation in North America for fiercely supporting their teams even if they suck on the field, but the Argos are flopping here so suddenly we're a s**t sports town, rightttt...
