CANADIAN FOOTBALL has taken the big let: of expanding inte
the United States during the last two seasons with comimissioner
Larry Smith hinting that the Canadian game's invasion of mid-sized
American towns may continue. One of the newest Canadian Football
League (CFL) teams, Baltimore, inhabits a former National Football
League (NFL) stronghold and is currently embroiled in a legal battle
over rights to the team’s chosen name of the Colts. The Vancouver
Province reported Monday that NIL commissioner Paul Tagtiabue

antd, “Toronto and Vancouver would be on anyone's short list (fer
NEL expansion)" during a conference call with reporters, Needless to
say, BC. Lions owner Bi! Comrie reacted strongly, saying the Lions
have sole rights to professional football in Vancouver and B.C, Place
Stadium. He added that he alone had the right to allow NFL football
into the city. Vancouver seems to have a problem supporting the
Lions so it's questionable whether the city could suppor! an NFL
franchise.

I think it’s great because
B.C. kids get an oppor-

games and there's lots of
good football players
here who could get
opportunities to play.

Bob Godolphin

North Vancouver

No, I don’t think so.
Leave Canadian football
alone. | mean, we're
already playing in the
States. Someday I'm
sure it will all be one big
league anyway.

Jim Garside
Vancouver

It really doesn’t matter
to me. As fong as
they've got the facility,
they should use it to take
the burden off of the tax-
payers. But it doesn’t
matter to me.

Personally I'm in favor
of the least amount of
anything American
coming to Canada.

Stephan Greczkowski

Yes, because I believe
it’s inevitable that
American football will
come into the larger
Canadian markets just
as baseball and basket-
ball have already.
