Canadian Football - Results

The answer to my Canadian Football themed question seemed to run along a few key lines:

1. People abusing the fact that they know they will be alive in 20 years by going out and fighting bears, cheating death, doing drugs, etc.
2. People who assume that watching the CFL is a sign of insanity
3. Arpan
4. People who wanted to avoid watching the CFL as a long as possible, despite their inevitable fate.

I'm going to give the prize this week to Pifry for summing up the last position via metaphor:

If it is inevitable that I will become a CFL fan in 20 years, starting to
watch it now would be a little like spending the week before your wedding
browsing antique and crafts fairs with an eye out for something to compliment
floral patterned wallpaper. Sure, I'm going to enjoy being married--just
as I apparently will enjoy being a Canadian Football Fan (please tell me that's
not code for "soccer")--but it doesn't mean I need to suffer the humiliation
associated of being caught skipping your bachelor party to learn the definition
of, and shop for a, duvet cover...which is what starting to watch the CFL now
would be like.
