More Canadians are watching the NFL than the CFL (including me), so I'm not sure I follow on this one.
There's no doubt that such a franchise would be successful with as much money as there is in Toronto right now, but I would think the real reasons that the NFL doesn't want to expand there is because they're not adding a US television market by doing so (incredibly important to the major network network television partners who call the shots) and they've already got a built-in fanbase throughout the city/country with everyone already watching their own respective teams. If international expansion is going to happen any time soon, I think it will be elsewhere.
