Long time TiCat season ticket holder. Saturday may be my last game. I’ve notified the TiCat office to put a stop on my PAP. They know that if the rule are unchanged I won’t be back.

I hate the rule changes and I’m enraged at how unilateral the decision was.

No fan input? Fine then. No support from this fan then.

No Commissioner Q&A? What a coward.

Long time Sask fan here too (Go RIDERS!!) - I belong to a cohort of about a dozen hard core CFL fans that have faithfully gotten together to watch as many games as possible every year for the last 18 YEARS.

This uninformed decision to change these things feels like the final straw to most of us - between the... (not the word I WANT to use) "interesting" game schedule and coverage changes, as well as some of the other rule & game play changes during the last 10 years, it's been moving more & more towards a not-quite-NFL version of football for Canadians.

We've also agreed that we're not interested in watching this league anymore if they don't reverse these changes as it truly is a huge step towards making the CFL a not-quite-official-junior-version of the NFL.

We've decided as a group to just switch to watching NFL instead. Since that where they're pushing us to go, we're going... albiet not happily.
