You’re right they are different leagues, CFL is to the NFL what AAA baseball is to MLB or AHL is to NHL … You can defend it all you want but it doesn’t change the fact it’s a semi pro league for players who can’t cut it in the NFL.
That’s just simply not true. Every year there are many players from the CFL that the NFL scoop up for their teams. It’s why the CFL and NFL work so closely.
