The National Post is seemingly working to become the paper of record for the CFL this season, they are in the midst of a pretty interesting feature called "Turf Wars".
Tackling the issue of the would be Buffalo stampede northwards, they have pulled together a number of articles that highlight the importance of Canadian football to our ever required need for nation building.
The series has approached the subject from a Southern Ontario perspective, which considering the topic of the Bills moving northwards seems a good approach, reminding Southern Ontario that it's roots in the game are just as deep as the Western reaches where the game is still a vital part of every community.
The comments from the participants in the series are heartfelt and certainly showcases the league in a positive light, as well it should, a key component of the Canadian experience and one that we would miss should it ever be rendered obsolete.
The articles are well worth the read for CFL fans who will no doubt enjoy this well put togerher theme from the National Post, bring a hankie and maybe a pom pom or two to the reading room.
Part One-- A cultural icon at stake
Part Two-- Football, chicken wings and snow
Part Three-- In Micheal's memory
Part Four-- The Toronto bounce
