cfl rule changes r seriously garbage

 so in 2026 the cfl will not have a kicker kick the ball through the end zone for a rouge to win the game it will have to keep the ball in the field of play. Also in 2026 they will be also changing the play clock from 20 seconds with the clock starting when the ball is placed on the turf to immediately blowing in a 35 seconds after the last play ends. Also they will have a team on opposite sidelines instead of both teams on the same sideline.

So to start giving a team their own sideline will create faster substitutions which creates faster gameplay as the players can be directly across from the line of scrimmage.

So the bad is the idea of a kicker  misses a field goal or punts into the end zone and the returning team just leaves the ball alone hoping it bounces out of play for no point. the change of the play clock will change the last 3 minutes which can have lots of plays and lots of action because u go from very little time coming of clock between plays to quite a bit of time coming off the clock placing the ball and moving the 10 yard chains.

now the worst changes are coming in 2027 with the 55 yard line going away and going to have midfield being at the 50 yard line like in America. Also making the end zones 15 yards deep instead of 20 yards and finally the goal posts to the back of he end zone instead of the front of the end zone.

The one thing they are not changing is the width of the field staying 65 yards which will still allow the more wide open game which is good.

The changing the Canadian dimensions for the American dimensions could hurt the fans in the prairies and Alberta which is the heart beat of the cfl as these may not want to go to games just maybe. The smaller end zone could create more misses not staying in the field of play which creates less exciting kick returns. I do not know if u have to kick the ball 15 yards further meaning if the ball is on the 30 yard line that means the kicker needs to the ball 45 yards for a good field goal which is double the american version as the goal posts are 7 yards inside the end zone.

The league wants to make the games more watchable for the Canadians who only watch the American version but they are not going to gain the fans who like the American version and could loss some of the fans who like the Canadian version with the changes.

Fans in BC, Quebec, and Ottawa will support only competitive or winning teams and in Toronto yu can not draw an audience because they want the American version in town so what the point.

Have a good day

WNBA expansion is coming soon

 Wnba will add teams after the virus ends (hoping soon) and i think adding 2 teams. it is the perfect time as they have a huge tv deal that has made it possible for players that made 40k and now can make 100 k. Top players used to able to make 136 - 150k and now they can make up to a half million and has a deal goggle for a 25 for 25 for season 25.

Two more teams will spread the talent around and it would allow 24 more women being able to play in north america than having to move overseas/ It would make more stars in the wnba which would make the league better.

One team would be in Canada most likely Toronto, ontario, and that is because the Wnba loves to put W teams that have nba team. Another place in canada that could have the team is British Columbia who has the women elirw 8 of canadian college basketball. I can image Kia Nurse being the face of the franchise grat on the mic skilled on the court and knows her bas-ket-ballll.

The other team would fit in perfectly in Tennessee because of the love for women's basketball in Connecticu is the reason they has a team instead Boston. Tennessee university love their women's basketball team as much as uconn and best place for it would b nashville it is likely the largest arena in the state.

the wnba is a greay product and liberty Barkley centre in brooklyn things r getting bigger and i know they could more than 2 but do it slow and steady

why mlb players do not trust their owners

Since the 2016 off season (going into 2017) owners refused to give free agents over 30 big contracts so the big money deals to finish their career and had to take 1-3 years deal for much less per season or wait til the season started to get like 20 million for the season. If the players is lucky a second season option (usually a team and player option so if one party wants out the second year is scarped).  This is a huge problem for players because if they reach the majors in their mid-20's they r under team control until they r over 30. The players r not free agents until after 7th major league season during which time a player has 3 years of pre-arbitration where they r given what the team wants to give them (400k-500k most likely). Then 3 years arbitration  meaning a player gives a salary for the next season (a high salary) and the team gives a salary for the next season (a low salary) then a judge listens to each side and usually cuts the difference and the player the middle #. The middle season (year 4) can either b a pre or arbitration year depending how their second major league season goes 78% get pre and 22% get arbitration.

Player have been pissed since signing agreeing to the last collective bargained agreement in late 2016 and there was a lot of talk that mlbpa front man tony clark was going 2 lose his job. Four years later players r not going b screwed again a year away from needing a new cba players r looking for less team control so they can get the money they fell they deserve.

Now players also fell they agreed to terms on a covid 2020 season in march and the owners r misremembering that and wanting to pay half their pro rated contract and another 20% if they award the world series this season. Players r looking at a 2-thirds of a season while owners want less than half of a regular season. Players really want 2 c what these clubs r making and owners do not want 2 show them their books.

mlb compared to other sports r really hurting with horrible tv # along with empty stands and an average fanbase in the mid 50s.

Also in a time where most leagues in north america r setting up shop in 1 or 2 isolated spots baseball wants to travel to as many ballpark as possible is simply crazy in this crazy times we r living in.

stay safe

nfl on racist actions means more than words

the NFL owners and commissioner Rodger Goodell has changed their opinion on racialism and r saying “We, the NFL, believe Black Lives Matter,”. This a response to a great video by their players who have not changed their opinion as they held hands and taking a knee in 2016.

In 2016 Donald Trump saw or most likely a football player was taken a knee during the national anthem and said he was anti-American and not b playing. The player Colin Kaepernick became a free agent after the season and to the wishes of Donald he not get signed by any team and only got a tryout nearly 3 years later.

The league listening to their players is means nothing when u look @ a league made up 70% black players when going into the 2020 season there is 4 black head coaches (12.5%) and 2 general managers (6.25%).

The bottom line is this if the NFL do not want the words that r coming out of their mouth to b hallow then when u r hiring someone for a position in your leadership group (coaches general manager president) interview more than 2 black head coaches and 1 for general manager and president of the team. If the qualified black person is best person hire them if they r second still give them the chance to show if they r able to get the job done.

NFL actions r better than words
