How Trump will affect the Toronto Burby League.

 

For all the existence of the TBL, the League has known but 1 Leader of the Free World...United States of America President, Barack Hossien Obama. Under his steadfast leadership, Burby saw a rebirth, a renaissance, a new beginning that had not seen this level of popularity since the days of Monica Lewinsky and President Bill Clinton.

At the beginning of Obama's tenure, Healthcare and the TBL was at the top of his agenda and he delivered despite heavy opposition from a staunchy Beaches Teaparty residence. Under the Obama administration, the Toronto Burby League went from 4 lonely playground dwellers to a 15 team surplus!

 

But now we've reached an unknown juncture in our game. 'Make Burby Great Again' is what some are saying. President-Elect Donald Trump has casted a possible dark shadow over our sport. The TBL sent a few of its reporters close to his successful campaign to find out some of the proposed changes Trump is expected to befall the TBL.

 

Burby stat rat Rob Scotland is reporting the "abolishment of NAFTA-type teams like the Masons and quite possibly the Championship Bears". Speaking on anonymity,

 

Jeremy Parry is hearing grumblings that "all outfield walls will be immediately installed with razor wires to keep the Riverdalians out, and Riverdale will be paying for it".

 

From his perch in CHFTBL headquarters, Darren Osborne has uncovered a plan to "name every team in the TBL, the Indians". 

 

And Commissioner Adrian Golombek's emails are being investigated by the KGB. The Commish also thinks that the Sufi's from Cedarbrae will have to change their name to Sufibragadocious.

 

But not everyone is feeling disenfranchised over the news of a New Trump Order. Independent reporter Greg Majster views this as "an opportunity for the entire league to rally around its communities, represent themselves, break the sociopolitical barriers and become a global phenomenon for good".

 

Liberal Conservative spokesperson Jason Darby reminds us "to be careful how we spew all the hateful rants and criticism towards the incoming admin...it looks bad".

 

The next four years can be some of the toughest times for the TBL and the future of Burby in general. But we'll give Trump a chance...all we ask is that he give us, the historical unintelligible, a chance aswell.

 

On a side note, the Den will now be referred to as Trump field. Officials will now be known as Trumpires.
