Iconic Grey Cup trophy receives new base for just third time in its history, Online, May 3

How dismayed we were to read that the CFL was going to start removing a plaque from the Grey Cup each year to make way for new winners, instead of adding a larger base to the trophy. Removing history, celebration and pride from such teams as Toronto’s Balmy Beach or the Queen’s Golden Gaels for the silly reason just to make room on the trophy. These teams won these trophies and should have the right to keep their teams’ names on it. What is next? The NFL to start removing the early names from their Super Bowl — first to go will be the Green Bay Packers — I can’t see NFL fans letting this happen, and CFL fans should demand the same respect for their own Grey Cup.
