While you were watching 2,000 hours of Olympic coverage on seven different platforms, the Canadian Football League almost had a nervous breakdown. Across the border (not playing the part of Louis Riel) came Calgary pivot Bo Levi Mitchell, riding a Twitter stallion. The CFL cannot continue at the present level if Toronto collapses as a franchise because sponsors won't go along, leaving this a regional, third-tier pro league with a questionable future. So everyone got together, discussed micro-aggression in football, Popp apologized and all seemed better. As you filter back from the Olympics, isn't it reasonable to assume this has long since washed down the river?
