Other Sports: Part the Fourth - Canadian Football

"And anyone forthwith who is ignorant of the meaning of
a 'rouge' is will have their citizenship revoked and shall be
forever expelled from the land" - British North America Act.

We have a version of American football, which we call Canadian football. It involves one less 'down' and the field is bigger or something, but at the end of the day is still a bastardization of rugby and a pox on all things holy and true.

That said, CBC Sports ran this headline this morning: Eskimos drubbed in Montreal again, which to my mind sounds like the city has successfully repelled an attack from hordes of Inuit attempting to take back land on behalf of the Iroquois. Seinfeld and the Simpsons have both made jokes about it, which makes it a legitimate sport. Watch at your own peril.
