Make no mistake, it absolutely is a joke. That, however, doesn't make it any less real.

This is to counterbalance Sankofa Square.

I don't see what the big deal is. Exactly nobody is actually going to call it "Rob Ford Stadium" when "Crack Colosseum" rolls off the tongue so well. Like "Crappy Tire" or "Horny Tim's" it will become classic self-depricating Canadiana. Or Torontoniana. Besides, do people actually call the Skydome "Rogers Centre" or the ACC "Scotia Whatever"? (please tell me they don't, it's been so long since I lived there, I'm afraid the scary young people will make me feel old and out of touch)
