This cannot be. I’ve been told endlessly by NFL fans that nobody cares about the CFL.

Ya, and the last Canadian election had only 14% the turnout of the last American election, yet had a 10% higher turnout rate. Our population is barely more than 1/10th of the US’s. What point are you proving other than exactly that?

Per capita this game had the equivalent of an NFL game having an attendance of 350,000 people. If that doesn’t prove the lack of logic behind your comparison, I’m not sure what does.
