Toronto Argonauts Thread

Oldest pro sports team in North America.

Ti-Cats are older.

Ti-Cats are older.

But not continuous (outside of wars).

They played continuously people just count from their merger in 1950.
But the Hamilton tigers were founded in 1869. 4 years before the Argos.

I stubbornly refuse to relent. Different name = different team.

So the leafs shouldn’t have held their centennial in 2017? And their first 2 cups don’t count.
They weren’t called the Maple Leafs until 1927.

If you look at old Leafs media guides, they don't acknowledge the Arenas or St. Pats.

Lol
I’d rather be a tiger than a filthy Argonaut……

Always? If that were true, Canadian NHL teams would be filled mostly with rookies and leftover vets who sign for cheap. Plus there's a cap that prevents every good player from signing down south.

They were kind of all mediorce until about 2017. Still the leafs haven't gone past the first round and the oilers...welll let's not talk about about that

That only helped the NBA. They adjusted their flagrant foul rules, which got rid of most of their enforcer-type players, and today NBA revenue ranks #2 or 3 among the world's sports leagues.

Fair enough. Still don't think players should get involved.

Hamilton has no NHL team because the Leafs and Sabres prevented it. Also why there will never be a second Toronto team.

True but you have to admit our fans and media are too brutal at times.

Go Bombers!

Go Bombers!

I can’t wait to see the Cats beat them in a stadium completely filled with Ti-Cat fans. Just like last Sunday.

Got into physical and verbal altercations with fans.... can't be doing that

No, he can't. Possibly the end of the line for him.

Sounds like a Toronto problem.

The biggest misconception in Canada is that Toronto supposedly has contempt for all the other cities and all the people that come from those cities. I live in TOR, but I'm not from here. The people here don't judge me because I was born in St. Catharines. Many of us come from some place. What reason would I have to hate someone from St. John, Lethbridge, or Grimsby?

 

[Canadian Finn]

Same way I like the Jays.

I also work in Toronto when I have to.

Liking a team is different than liking the city (or its inhabitants).

Surprised it takes a uneducated Hamiltonian to explain this.

Did anyone call you uneducated? Hamilton isn't that nice of a city. I find this level of pride in a city and alternatively hate towards another city frankly just weird to be completely honest. It is just a place people live and work, it isn't that deep.

 

[Apex Predator]

I wouldn’t go so far to insult the city of Hamilton because of sports fans. Jays fans threw garbage on the field during the playoffs. Leaf fans went after Reimers wife during the playoffs. There are tons of examples of sports fans acting bad outside of Hamilton and Toronto. That is not a reflection on the city and others that live there.

This is hilarious. One of the main reasons why I don't watch the CFL is the 3 down BS.
