The Green Nation
I didn’t know this, but apparently the Roughriders are a religion in Saskatchewan. Read this interesting article from our beloved national daily (thank Globe and Mail) and you’ll see what I am talking about.
It’s their only professional sports team, so people in Regina and Saskatchewan have built-up their love of the Roughriders up to a new level. And I thought we had it bad with only one NHL and one CFL team in Montreal. It seems the Roughriders sell tons of memorabilia merchandise and have huge “on the road” following, and the team is as old as the province. That’s a sports culture I love. The fans seem all in, and that’s cool. Just take a look at that:
Well, too bad for all the Roughriders fans because the Alouettes are still going to win.
Thanks to Ethel the Frog, from whom I stole the image.
