To make his point, Doug Ford pointed to his brother's reception at a Toronto Argonauts football game. One video from the game appears to show the crowd chanting "Rob Ford" as the mayor walks past:

Ford's visit to the stadium wasn't a total success — CTV report that the sports team had asked him not to attend in an official capacity, and one fan apparently threw a beer on Ford.
