The Canadian Football League
North American football was born in Canada in the 1860s. For decades, though, the growth of Canadian football was slow to change from its rugby traditions. In recent decades, it has been in the shadow of its largest competitor, the National Football League. Although hockey is held up as Canada's number one sport, the CFL has enjoyed as rich and storied a tradition in Canadian sports history. This book is not the usual general history detailing on-field accomplishments, Grey Cup winners etc. Instead, it combines an historical look through 2003 with discussion of continuous themes which have shaped the League. These include the role of the Canadian player, competition from other pro sports, the media's role in creating an image of the CFL, Canadians' attitudes towards pro sports, and how the CFL continually struggles to survive - often in spite of itself.
The Canadian Football League
Modern North American football was born in the 1860s at the same time Canada became a nation. However, for decades, the growth of Canadian football was slow and unwilling to change from its rugby traditions. In more recent times, it has also been in the shadow of its largest competitor, the National Football League. Although hockey is professed to be Canada's number one sport, the CFL has held as rich and storied tradition in Canadian sports history. This book is not the usual general history detailing on-field accomplishments, Grey Cup winners and so on. Instead, it combines an historical look through 2003 with various continuous themes which have shaped the League. These topics include the role of the Canadian player, marketing, competition from other pro sports, the media's role in creating an image of the CFL, Canadian attitudes towards professional sports, and how the CFL continually struggles to survive.
Canadian Football World League
The much talked of "merger" between the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the upstart reincarnated Xtreme Football League (XFL), a league without even one successful season under its belt, was a dog's breakfast. Thankfully, Canadian football survived those perilous negotiations and remained intact for the 2021 season. In Canadian Football World League: Growing the CFL through a new independent international league, Peter Tremblay argues that the most logical direction for the CFL would be a "Canadian Football World League" (CFWL). The CFL is a leader in the International Alliance of Gridiron Football, and there has been significant interest in Canadian football and the CFL among international players and representative international organizations, demonstrating that a global professional football league using Canadian rules is more than viable. Based upon economic models already successfully implemented in other leagues and the unique identity of Canadian football, Peter Tremblay maintains that the time is right for a global approach to growing our national game.
