Yeah, that was a good example of a cop getting off who should have went to jail. There are many other examples as well. Cops just don't get convicted for major wrongdoings in the US. Most are professionals who do their jobs very well & will put their lives on the line to protect the public. But that last 10% are power drunk pricks who would get their jollies beating up or shooting someone. It's that 10% that need rooting out. If they know they'll get away with being thugs then they'll keep doing what they're doing. If the Fear of God is put in their heads if they mess up, then most won't. No cop should feel he or she is above the law.

The title should be changed to address how things have escalated.

At least you have a modern stadium in Winnipeg. Here in Calgary, Eisenhower was President when McMahon was built. With little or no fan comforts. It's a stadium fans would rather stay away from.

The league wants to attract more fans? Not with the CFLPA making assinine decisions like this.

Change won't come if he gets back in... He has to go.

We do, though. The CFL is entertaining. It's ticket prices. Why pay $60 for a ticket when they can watch it at home for free? Price it so it can be a real choice rather than a slam dunk NO.

They do at McMahon Stadium.

The only way real change will happen is if Trump is defeated in November along with his lapdog GOP governors who follow his every move. If they all get back in then it will be status quo for another 4 years with blacks & police. .

That is me. I am conservative but I could never stand with him or vote for him.

I think he finally dug a trench his fat ass can't climb out of.

What makes you the expert here?

Explain how every cop who has killed a black man gets off? I really want to hear your explanation.

Calgary has a successful spring league that has been in operation since the early 2000's. My son played in it & I coached in it. I haven't coached since 2009 & don't really follow much local football anymore so I'm not 100% sure about the number of teams in the league. I think there are now 8 teams in Calgary. It would be interesting if the Spring League would cease operations for a year if the high schools wanted to play next spring. That is, if high school ball is cancelled in September. The problem is fields are booked for traditional spring sports both in high school & the community. Does football in high school tell rugby that you can't play because we want your players as well as fields for practices & games? How does high school football tell community sports like soccer that we want your fields? I doubt it. The pushback from the community would be intense. I'm sure in Calgary at least, the spring league will continue next season. They will have their fields booked to practice on & to play. Only thing that may change is allowing Grade 12's to play if they miss their fall season coming up. The rules are Grades 9-11 can play but no Grade 12's. I can see that changing to accommodate the seniors if they have a lost season. I'd be in favour of allowing all 4 grades to participate permanently. While the spring season is lost for 2020, I can really see it roaring back to life next year if the coming HS season is lost & they are allowed to play next spring.

Every cop that has killed a Black man has been acquitted. Some cops think that they can act with impunity & there'll be no consequences. The police & justice system in the US are corrupt.

Frank Reagan won't be pleased.

Oops, reacted to the wrong quote. Deleted.

Disagree. Trump brought this out with his rhetoric the past 4 years. He's as much to blame as the rioters doing damage.

Here's the closest answer I can give you. In 2011 & 12 when my son played Junior College football in Northern California, he introduced his teammates to Trailer Park Boys. He brought a bunch of DVDs down with him & 9 or 10 guys would crowd into his dorm room as he played the series for them & they absolutely loved it. One time, they had a snowstorm as the campus was in the Sierra Mountains. One of the players had a car so my son brushed off all the snow & took some guys on the team for a little ride Canadian Style in an empty snowbound parking lot. He was doing doughnuts & sliding all over the place. He said these tough black dudes who were his teammates from the Hood in LA & Oakland were squealing like little piglets in the back as he roared around. They all thought they were all gonna die. Lol.

There's this "Virus Thingy". We need Janeway to get the website back.

These covidiots deserve it. Like how the bar just said they did nothing wrong. Hope they get heavily7 fined or have to face criminal charges.

Albertans are angry with the way he has treated Alberta physicians but that hasn't stopped him from his Holy Crusade to gut the Alberta Medical Association & Healthcare. No one voted for him to do that. No one. It will be his undoing as well as the UCP if he does what I think he's going to do when this pandemic is over. Massive cuts to all sectors of Albertans way of life. Healthcare, education, infrastructure, etc. Everyone will be affected. Kenney will be screwing with this province's future simply because of political ideology & blaming it on the pandemic. He will get booted out because of it.

The ;police are as corrupt as the day is long. Really have to hope that along with Trump a whole bunch of GOP governors go down with him.

I think he's virtually guaranteeing the NDP will be back in power in 3 years.

I can't see Trump surviving past November. I think most Americans are fed up with the daily chaos & want him out except his ever shrinking base. But then... he's proven his critics wrong before.

I read it more than once. We are forced to abide by politicians as they set policy & laws. Politicians can do what the hell they want & you can see that in Canada & the US all over with States & Provinces opening up early. Seeing it now in Alberta with Kenney's Old Folks comments this week. His flip flop while astounding is certainly not surprising. The "Good & Kind, I Really Really Care About Albertans" Jason Kenney is now being replaced by the "Bottom Line, You Ain't Seen Nuthin' Yet, Cuts Are Coming, Ha Ha, Hee Hee, Ho Ho" Jason Kenney. I'm not disagreeing with what you say as I agree with most of it but I don't agree with you just dumping all the bad behaviour on the general public when our political leaders play Russian Roulette despite what health officials are saying. Or seem to act in the best interests of Big Business rather than the individual. Doctors can be just as partisan as any of their cabinet colleagues or as bureaucrats once they are in a position to be something like a Chief Medical Officer & Health Minister. They take their marching orders from their political leaders just like anybody else. They value their careers as much as the guy or gal next to them in cabinet. It's all partisan politics. if you're an NDP supporter are you going to really trust what Pallister says or his Health Minister? Same as in Alberta, when Rachel Notley was Premier, half the province here wouldn't have trusted her motives if there was a pandemic. Now with Kenney, the other half feels the same way. In times of crisis people used to trust their political leaders. Not anymore but such is the reality of 2020. As an aside, there is a doctor in New Brunswick under investigation there who went to Quebec for a visit & disregarded the 14 day quarantine & kept on seeing patients once he got back. He saw over 150 patients before he himself fell ill. Two are in serious condition in ICU & other have become sick because of him. The community only has 4 ICU beds & 2 are now occupied because of the asshat physician. You wonder how he could have been so selfish & stupid. What is the general public supposed to do when we can't even trust physicians to do the right thing? BTW, I'm practicing self isolation still. I don't go out anywhere unless I have to. I don't see that changing for a long time.
