You might want to read that again. The key word is Canadian.
I'm pretty sure he understands that. I interpret his question to mean, "If he had a cfl career in addition to playing for BYU, is he suing the CFL as well? Or just BYU?"

Point is--probably has to sue the Canadian Football League in a Canadian court....not a US court.

My question certainly allows for that. But just in case it was too vague: I wonder if....
A - he thinks his time in the CFL contributed to his condition;
B - he thinks key entities therein should have known as much or more about the dangers of the game as BYU, the WAC, and the NCAA; and,
C - he will be seeking recompense from the team(s) for which he played and the CFL in the Canadian judicial system?
