Hamilton does not want the Bills

[Romes]

HAMILTON - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats say they won't participate in the plan to bring eight Buffalo Bills games to Toronto.

"We feel that bringing NFL games to stadiums in Canada without a comprehensive agreement between the CFL and the NFL will lead to unintended consequences, not all of them good," Ticats owner Bob Young said in a statement.

"The CFL is Canada's premier professional sports league, as the NFL is the premier sports league in the U.S. We are looking forward to a mutually beneficial agreement resulting from discussions between the CFL and NFL."

Last week the NFL confirmed that eight Bills games would be played at the Rogers Centre in Toronto over the next five years.

The Ticats said that contrary to earlier reports, they will not participate with Rogers Stadium Limited Partnership in the plan. Ticats season-ticket holders - along with Argos and Bills season-ticket holders - were to be given priority for purchasing tickets for the Toronto games.

Maybe this will put a wrench into things.

This really won't affect anything. Those games are going to sell out instantly.

I understand why you like their position, but their position is based on being greedy a-holes. They don't want the NFL taking their $$$ away.

People in Saskatchewan and Edmonton I'm sure would disagree. Perhaps it's just a cultural divide.
