Did not think i needed to use the /S on my last post. Will not use it on this one. Looks like the franchise is going to be rescued by the Navy Seals or they have found a use for Guaranteed Field if the Sox leave.

Another use for The Rate Field? How about this: Years ago the Canadian Football League expanded into the United States. It only lasted a few years before they gave up on the idea and the teams were disbanded.

Maybe it's time to try again. Give 'The Rate Field' a new CFL team and let them play the likes of the WInnipeg Blue Bombers and the Toronto Argonauts. The South Side has needed a pro team since the Cardinals left. Let's learn to love three-down football and give the Bears some competition for attention.

(This was half s/ and half-not)

Really really like the half s/ comment. Kind of reminds me of the way the Sox season has gone and the way the team was put together. đźš«S

Were the Sox actually put together or were they what was left when Management tossed everything out on the floor -- gave away their good china -- and kept all the other broken and chipped pieces?

I like watching Canadian football. The three-down game and wider field is a faster style of football as teams have two downs really to get to their next first down. And it's more back and forth since you can stop your opponent on just two downs to get the ball back if they don't go for it on Third Down. You can get back into games faster if you fall behind. I also like the idea of getting a point when your opponent doesn't get the ball out of their end zone.

Chicago loves football and the Bears will always rule. But Chicago is also a large World-class City (even with its many problems) and types of games from 'elsewhere' can take a hold on it with the diverse population. Look at the growth of soccer in the United States (not necessarily the Fire) and see how people are embracing leagues beyond the legacy Big Four sports.

Years ago they tried a soccer league in the USA and a team that played at Comiskey Park. But America was not yet ready to embrace that kind of football. That was also around the time that the White Sox were going into the dumper as a franchise after their many years of having great success.
