The press conference explaining the decision to fire Kevin Payne was going so well.
Tim Leiweke was saying a the right things about the future of the club and fans could have been excused if they were starting to believe that things could actually be turned around.
And then he was asked about the Argos.

Not only did Leiweke refuse to shut down talk of the CFL team moving into BMO Field, painting gridiron lines in the newly plastic pitch and, likely, driving the last remaining TFC loyalists away, but he actually seemed to suggest that it was likely.
If TFC fans still have any fight in them they absolutely need to make sure MLSE understands that moving the Argos into BMO would kill TFC.
No hyperbole. The club would not be playing in Toronto within 3-years. The soccer community would fully turn their back on the club. Many are looking for any excuse to do do now and this would be a legitimate reason to walk away.
This can't happen. Leiweke needs to be loudly, consistently and aggressively told this at every opportunity.
Do you still have fight left in you TFC fans? Your first opportunity to demonstrate it is next Wednesday.
