The Canadian Senate. Outside of journalists, only a few dozen people watch it live. Maybe a couple hundred follow it on a semi-regular basis.

So I can’t think of a better appointment than the owner of the Toronto Argos:

Lions, Argos owner Braley tapped for Senate

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has appointed David Braley, a Hamilton-area businessman who owns two Canadian Football League teams, to the Senate to fill a vacancy from Ontario.

Braley, owner of the B.C. Lions and the Toronto Argonauts, will immediately replace Conservative Senator Wilbert Keon. Keon has reached the mandatory Senate retirement age of 75.
