Sober Second Thoughts: Fair is not always equal
The Toronto Argonauts are 136 years old. Established in 1873 they are older than Liverpool FC, Australia, basketball and Toronto’s Union Station (the new one. Old Union Station has the Argos by 15 years) to name but a few things. It’s the oldest professional gridiron football team in the world. Actually, it’s one of the oldest professional sports teams in the word, period.
And it’s never owned its own stadium. Not from 1874 to 1897 when they were at the Rosedale Golf Club’s Rosedale Field. Not from 1898 to 1907 when they were at the University of Toronto’s Varsity Stadium. They didn’t buy the place when they went back to Rosedale Field from 1908 to 1915, nor did U of T give up ownership of Varsity from 1916 to 1958.
