There's no more bigger fun suckers than Stamps fans.

Someone needs to tell Canadians that these indigenous peoples have been in Canada - or, to be more precise, what is now Canada - for far longer than they have.

Someone missed the whole CFL reference in there.

What did they expect would happen? If the Stamps put up a billboard sign in Edmonton the exact same thing would happen there.

He's right. And there is photographic evidence of some of the earliest Edmonton Eskimos to ever settle the land:

I'm glad we don't take sports so seriously in Vancouver.

Well your name is certainly appropriate.

I'm sorry was the brilliant mind in Edmonton who erected the billboard seriously the billboard to remain unscathed? If I were the cops I would've told the billboard company when they called to report the vandalism that they'll get right on it and then place the report in a drawer.

$1:

The board depicted an Edmonton Eskimos fan riding a Calgary Stampeder fan’s back like a horse and originally read “EE-Hawwww! See you Monday Stamps fans.”

Well that's just pure class.

It must suck, taking everything in life so seriously.

You know, it's just a game, right? The Edmonton/Calgary rivalry goes back to inter city LaCross games back in the the 1800's. The Labour day football game goes back almost 50 years. And Calgary Stampeders and Saskachewan Roughriders organizations do the same thing before Edmonton games, and people take it for what it is - a friendly poke in the ribs!

Learn to laugh!

What the hell does that have to do with defacing a billboard?
