for lack of a better term....a "peer review" of its ground breaking
research paper,
Hamilton, Toronto and “Argos Suck!”: History and Rivalry.
Mr. Henley requires no introduction as he is Hamilton's most respected and knowledgable historian. He is a dedicated citizen, author, and pillar of the community.

When Hamilton and Toronto's football clubs engaged in combat in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, devotees of each team would travel to the rival city in special trains put on for the occasion.
Whether the game was in the "Queen City, "or as it was less charitably called "Hog Town", or played in the more hospitable environs of the Ontario's most beautiful, dynamic and sports obsessed city, Hamilton, the inter-city rivalry would always reach a fever pitch.
If the game was merely an early date during regular schedule, or a championship tilt as the winds of late fall scurried the fallen leaves across the pitch, Toronto and Hamilton fans would try to outmatch each other with the cleverness of their cheers or the sheer volume of their singing. And Hamilton football fanatics, although retaining the city's usual reputation for classy, sportsmanlike banner, would never allow fans from the bigger, but totally inferior, community across the lake to upstage their support for the Tigers.
In Hamilton, after a game, (which would be, more often than not, a Hamilton victory,) the Toronto fans who loudly and proudly marched from the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo railway station to the H.A.A.A. grounds, would be allowed to skulk out of the Ambitious City without too much heckling or untoward attacks.
Hamilton and Toronto's rivalry on the sports fields, gymnasiums and arenas, in such sports as baseball, basketball and hockey as well as football, has been intense, and occasionally, it must be admitted, profane.
The Argos Suck analysis of the rivalry of the two great, if unequal, communities (Hamilton being so far superior) is perfect...very funny indeed, but, oh so accurate!
From the earliest days to the present, Hamilton's annoyance with the larger, but far less civilized and progressive "community" across the lake has been on going. We can live with the annoyance though, comfortable in the unquestioned superiority of our city...on the sports level, and every other level as well.
