Question

Why was the Canadian Football League Teams in the United States unsuccessful?

Answer 1

Because it's different in a lot of ways.  I like it, but not nearly as much as the NFL.

Answer 2

to be honest i don`t know but the nfl was watching closely as baltimore was a sucessful fanchise the nfl returned there  as for the othe teams the nfl will never give them a second look as they didn`t show any interest in a different type of football so they know they will never be capable of having an nfl team in those respective cities the cfl is a class act except for the revoling door of its commishioner the cfl should return to the us but only in cities that want the nfl and if they are good for 5 years then give the cities an nfl team if not go somewhere else where the fans want the top brand of football............. ps

go bombers go

Answer 3

because canadian football sucks

Answer 4

if you're talking about when the CFL expanded and put some teams in the United States, then it was cause of the money, the American teams where starting to buy the top players and the CFL had to stop it cause if they didn't the CFL might not even be around. remember in the USA its all about the money not the game, the money always remember that.

Answer 5

money issues. In Baltimore, the CFL was pretty popular.

Answer 6

It was in markets that were too much to the South of the Canadian-US border.  Except for Baltimore (where they averaged 28000 in assistance in the last year) and Sacramento (where I think they did pretty good),   However, I think a team in the Dakotas, New England (New Hampshire, Vermont, or even Maine), Idaho, Wyoming, could've work because they are close to the Canadian border.
