New rules / commissioner's statements

Please provide your theories on why the CFL is changing the field size.

My theory is the exact same as Sir Blue & Gold's theory: doing nothing is not an option.

Therefore, the logic goes as: change field size --> ?? --> profit.

Maybe one day the league will tell us the real answer. Probably not, though.

Please provide your theories on why the CFL is changing the field size.

Part of my theory is they are doing it as a humiliation and demoralization ritual, like so much in our society & politics right now.  It's change for change sake and "we don't give a poop if you don't like it -- in fact we like that you don't like it".

And they poke that bear further by trying to gaslight us that "55YL wasn't really important", "no one thought it was a defining CFL characteristic", "hey look at all these other CFL-isms that aren't changing".  Since it's absurd, it furthers the demoralization.

There's other reasons too, but this may be the crux, and it may be due to the evil ultimate owners of TSN, and thus the ultimate leash-holders of the league.  Also, I think Johnston isn't a CFL fan in the slightest, is a slimy used car salesman, and wants to stamp the biggest, ugliest mark on the league right away as a power move.

Hey, you asked!

Brady just said late in The Huddle you gotta keep the 55 YL.  Way to go Brady!
