Years ago, in the mid 1970's I believe, the upstart World Football League attempted to place an "American Football" team in Toronto.  The Toronto Northmen featured Paul Warfield, Larry Csonka, and Jim Kiick, signed from the Miami Dolphins.  For some reason the Canadians or Canadian Football League protested having a team in Canada, citing the differences in rules of football between the two countries.  The Toronto team was forced to move, becoming the Memphis Southmen.  Has policy changed now?  Or is it just because the NFL iis nvolved now?
