Canadian Football Fans To Protest

Tonight's match between Canada and Costa Rica at the National Soccer Stadium in Toronto will feature fans protesting the leadership of the Canadian Soccer Association.

Fans, led by various Toronto FC supporters groups, are encouraged to wear black to protest the what they believe is poor handling of the elite football programs in the country.

Some of the protest details and motives behind it are outlined on the U-Sector forums. Stephen Brunt of the Globe And Mail also wrote a column about the protest and the issues involving the CSA in today's edition.

In my opinion, the criticism of the CSA is fully deserved. I hope the fans at the game follow through with their comittment to cheer the team but make others aware of the poor state of the game in this country.

Canadian football deserves more
