Anti-Bills presence at Argos training camp

[Patrick76777]

They were hard to miss during the first official day of Argos training camp. A father and son decked out in white T-shirts with a Buffalo Bills logo crossed out.

The message Bryan and Sterling Halliday wanted to send: Keep the National Football League team out of Canada and specifically Toronto.

“We’re big Canadian Football League fans who love the Argos and hate the NFL,” said Sterling, 19, who is about to start at Sheridan College in the marketing program.

The father-son tandem were selling the shirts and trying to spread the message that fans need to band together if the seemingly inevitable march of the Bills northward is to be stopped.

Sterling said the CFL deserved more respect and recognition.

“Under Canadian rules in a CFL stadium a CFL team would beat a NFL team no problem,” he said.

Let's hope the Hallidays never go to a Bills game up there. They'll probably change their minds.

Doubtful. These guys must have watched The Replacements a few too many times.

He can't be serious.

I guess they dont realize that its the NFL rejects that go to the CFL not the other way around. Though on occasion we do snag a quality player from there.

This is good to hear, it means that the Toronto people, especially CFL fans will put up a big fight if Toronto tries to buy the team and steal them.

Sort of reminds me of when they had 32 people show up at a rally in Houston to save the Oilers...

Or it means that those two people and perhaps a handful of others will. Do you really think the majority of Toronto people would rather support a CFL team as opposed to an NFL team?

That's the down part. It's no doubt the minority, but let's hope it's larger then we think.

Still tickets available.

What in the world, why didn't the other two Argos fans join them in their protest?
