After Boston Globe NFL reporter Ben Volin said the CFL was boring, he has issued an apology of sorts.

Little did I know that one sentence in my Sunday Notes would set off an international incident. Two straight days of this from fans, media, players and now teams. Sorry I hurt your feelings, CFL https://t.co/Gol42rbzcg — Ben Volin (@BenVolin) April 9, 2019

Volin’s mentions have been filled by Tweets from Canadians backing the style and excitement of football played north of the border.

Though it is kinda fun having all of Canada against me right now. If nothing else I bring people together — Ben Volin (@BenVolin) April 9, 2019

It took an entire country but Canada imposed their politeness on Volin and there won’t be any Canadian standoff, our home and native land accepts the apology but that doesn’t change what was initially written.
