The Canadian Football League will wave the flag all over the globe in 2020, as its ambitious international outreach takes major strides forward. The rapid expansion of the so-called CFL 2.0 initiative is necessary since the league will double its complement of global players on each team’s active roster to two next season. The nine CFL teams are also likely to park two or three global players on the practice roster, in case of injury or performance issues. It should also have been seen as an opportunity to involve active CFL players in both the combines and in availabilities with local media. “We’ve offered the support of the players on this,” said CFL Players Association executive director Brian Ramsay.
