And they complain about Jim Quirk. Hey, anyone notice the tape around the holding up the official's sock?

[JugglingReferee]

Yup - things are different up here. 28 was potentially attempting to keep guys in the game.

As for the tape, it is clear hockey tape and often is used to maintain a separation from knicker and the white stripes on the stirrup. What 28's reason is for wearing the tape, I dunno.

Is that flag on the 54 1/2 yard line orange?

[Tom.OH]

Are they going to keep the stirup socks?

[JugglingReferee]

The stirrups are being replaced by the one-piece. This is a CFL- and CIS-only uniform change. (CIS = University Football.)

Other levels remain unchanged.

Yes, there is a flag on what looks like a x½ yard line. That it's the 54½, I can't determine that with any evidence that I see.

The two teams are the Hamilton Tigercats and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. SK are the current Grey Cup champions!

Do they still limit the number of good (i.e. American) football players on the teams? I seem to remember that they have to have quotas to allow Canadians to make the team. In the states we call that affirmative action.

The current trend is that more and more Cdn players are earning full scholarships to US schools, because more and more US scouts are proving their worth in Canada.

I believe that football in Canada went through a dark age, most likely due to economical hardships at the time. Ya it sucks, but moving forward, we are where we are today.

But to promote leading information such as the good football players being American is quite the forward thinking attitude to have. It just shows that you are ignorant.

I would like to know why more and more US schools have given jobs to Canadians instead of Americans?

After Googling it, the answer is "yes". CFL teams can dress 39 players per game, and a maximum of 17 players may be "imports"- i.e American.
