I get that he is saying we have stars up here, and that he is in the top tier of wrs here. We do, and he's an excellent wr. He went 40 or more yards twice all of last year. If he played on a better team he would probably be considered more frequently to be among the top tier of wrs in the cfl. But if he did, he would not get 125-150 targets a year. 75 out of 125 - 95-150 aren't great catch rates up here. 

I like what he is saying. Guys sticking up for the league, even while pumping themselves, is never a bad thing.

Yeah I don’t disagree with that part. Though it sounds like the cfl is big because he’s a star here. 
 The selection of stars in other sports that he’s calling the super star of the league and comparing him self to is kind of crazy. Ja morant is a huge screw up and not a top talent. Reece isn’t on top of the wnba or in the age range. Jefferson is atleast the best wr though in the nfl.  
 Whole thing is a mess that smacks of self promotion. 
 

I also don’t agree that teams and franchises build or make superstars. If that was the case it’d be happening a lot more in every sport on more teams. Superstars happen. It’s a rare combination of talent, growth mindset, luck and hard work from all kinds of people.
