Doug Ford pushes Non Pinko priority: Football

No Dougie *, bad! You are supposed to be pleasing your American visitors with lavish expenditures in stadiums, not annoying them...

Yes, Dougie is still pushing that all important Toronto stadium, the one he will build so his visiting American friends will have something to do will in the city.

Dougie is awful at PR...

A Toronto city councillor has outraged NFL fans in New Orleans with comments about the team possibly moving to his city.

Doug Ford, brother of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, told a sports journalist this week that he was excited about the possibility of an NFL franchise relocating to north of the border. The brothers are known as big football fans — and big fans of the NFL.

Doug Ford told sports network The Score that he believed Toronto is in line for a franchise. But then he said, "Two teams are kind of in play here: Jacksonville’s number one; New Orleans is the other."


To paraphrase Thomas Dolby: "He's an airhead..."

It is good to see he is fighting for the things Toronto needs, like a new stadium. Subways and bike paths, who needs 'em.

* to our non Toronto readers, Dougie is Councilor Doug Ford, brother of the new Mayor Rob. For some reason known only to the brothers and the media, Doug is given overgenerous access to the press to say delightfully silly things (possibly to deflect attention away from his brothers' actions) at regular intervals.
