Feh! The Bengals have big plans for next year. With their Special Republican Guard offence they will crush all opponents. No other team will be able to enter the field against the might Bengals. They've even hired a new assistant coach to help roast their enemies stomachs:

Um, they play football in Canada too, you know. They use 12 players and the field's 110 yards long but it's football!

"How blanketly unfair and sterotypical. Pro leagues are hardly dominated by those types of people. Although press coverage of pro leagues are dominated by them. There are far more decent people in football that spend substantial time and money helping out the community, than there are "rapists, drug users , prima donnas, wife beaters, thugs, and other undesirables." It's a shame that the 5% of bad ones get 90% of the press."

But those bad ones are usually the biggest stars. Sure Joe Average professional athlete doesn't get watched to the point that he gets caught, but many of the big names do. And you can't go a week without hearing what one of those guys have done criminally to get themselves in the paper. And to make everything all better, they usually walk the next day.

Yeah, but the overwhelming majority of players are Americans.

The CFL used to have a rule limiting the number of American players. Has that changed?
