Then it’s a misread by the bargaining committee. It’s become fairly obvious by all the news being leaked that they needed the American voter turnout to get the deal passed and they didn’t do what they needed to do to get that turnout. I’d also argue the NFL and CFL vote is like apples and oranges because the NFL doesn’t have the passport dynamics that we have up here.

Yeah. I do know what they want. Too much. They “held strong” long enough to get a proposal that ticked off the top six financial items on their wish list, put it to a vote and clearly did not explain the importance of actually bothering to vote to their membership. They then turned around and went back to the league after a rejected proposal and said “make it better.” You think it was the PA that leaked the poor voter numbers? It absolutely wasn’t, it was 100% the league and they did it because they know there’s absolutely no reason to improve an offer for an uninvested membership. The offer the PA ends up eventually pushing through (if it happens) isn’t going to be the best offer, it’s going to be the offer they accept because the paycheques are going to be missing and the players are going to want to play. 30% of the Americans clearly don’t care about the Canadian labour issues, but they’re going to care about an empty bank account. The PA completely blew this whole thing. They’re out of their league.

You’re right, I guess they rejected it because they felt sorry for the league and wanted them to offer less.

I don’t have to read the offer to know the players have mismanaged this. They had an incredibly bad voter turnout on a deal they proposed and now they’re naive enough to think they’re going to get a better deal. That tells me all I need to know.

They won’t get the original offer again.

These players are just a total bunch of dummies. You can tell they’re not on the same level at all with the businesspeople who own these teams.

The CFLPA bargaining committee

Wondering if he was the one who chose to pack it in

Not surprised at all

And that DE with the crazy hair … Moaka?

That video was going viral in a big way, I saw it multiple times before the news came out that it was a CFL player. Honestly though, unless something else comes out, good for Langley. He apparently used a wheelchair to roll his luggage to the drop off instead of a $5 cart which while … weird, is not worth the employee trying to pick a fight over it.

Great for the overall quality of the game, especially when it’s been trending downward for years

The bargaining committee was majority Canadian

So do it and get on with it

Not going to lump them all together but these back of the roster Canadians can get bent

If they don’t ratify, the players can go **** themselves lol

I absolutely love Manitoba so I’m with you on that. Just bought a cabin last fall (in Ontario, but still) because my wife and I have fallen in love with the life that rural MB can offer. my gripe is solely with Winnipeg lol

I mean I love Winnipeg too, but I don’t think I would if I was from somewhere else. Awful weather, deplorable conditions downtown, a generally filthy city, roads that are typically made up of at least 53% pothole, constant construction ruining any ability (that’s already so incredibly hampered) to get from point A to point B in a reasonable timeframe, an incredibly neglected homeless population, constant murder … I love it because it’s our dump, but I would definitely not hesitate to call Winnipeg a dump. Commonwealth seems like it’s basically in Edmonton’s version of skid row so I did find his comments surprising

i mean he's not wrong, Winnipeg is a dump lol

I’m still holding out hope we have cap room left to sign Stephen Alli and Christo Bilukidi

100 percent agree … getting tired of the stuff like this and the “Walmart greeter” commentary as well. It’s not 1937 anymore Iso, time to grow up a bit.

Sounds like Arjen Colhoquon retired for the Argos

You love to see it

Dobson signed

Looks like we cut Marwin Evans, Donovan Olumba and JoJo Wicker
