Yesterday I wrote a post on the NFL's Buffalo Bills playing in Toronto over the next few seasons. Responding to an earlier post by Skip, I wrote:
It's anecdotal, I realize, but there seems to be high demand for NFL football in Toronto. That may simply be due to the novelty of NFL football being played in Toronto. Or perhaps it's due to the value of the NFL brand name, a value the CFL may not have in it's country.
Victor Matheson of Holy Cross made the following comment over at TSE:
The NFL is a better product and, therefore, has higher demand.
The best players end up on NFL rosters. Those further down the talent ladder end up in the CFL and the Arnea Football League. Because, all else equal, fans want to see the best players on the field, the demand for NFL football and all that goes along with it will exceed that of the CFL.
