The Canadian Football League is not as good as the National Football League, the World's best sports league. The NFL is the first and last word in manliness and machismo and mano-a-mano.
Be that as it may, I still follow the Canadian Football League. Next weekend, the league holds it division finals with the winners of these games earning berths in the Grey Cup game (Canada's Super Bowl or Grand Final or F.A. Cup final) to be held the weekend after. In the East final, Winnipeg will play Toronto. Any person who believes in fundamental human decency must cheer for Winnipeg. If you still like Stalin after all these years and are in denial about his crimes, you can cheer for Toronto. In the West final, Saskatchewan will play British Columbia. I have no reason to justly condemn either of these Western Canadian cities, but I will cheer for Saskatchewan because their are the CFL's perennial underdog team.
Saskatchewan and Winnipeg victories in the finals would set up an unprecedented Saskatchewan - Winnipeg Grey Cup, a Prairie Grey Cup as it were. But for this to happen each team must win on the road against heavily-favored big city rivals. That is why I say: Dare to Dream! Go Bombers! Go Roughriders!
