What debate?
 
Everyone has equal rights.  Anyone can believe what they believe, but they can't use their beliefs to exclude or intimidate people from situations that have nothing to do with those beliefs, like playing professional football.
 
That's pretty fundamental human rights, nothing overly PC about that.

Jock Sanders would be a great add.  Bellefeuille knows how to use hybrid guys like him too...Thigpen, Corey Holmes.

Hard to see where Ferri fits on our team, even without knowing what we have in the young imports we've signed.  We're covered at WIL, Banks is probably going to play SAM or some hybrid position that takes that spot, Ferri is no better at HB than the DB's we've already got.

They are in the same strata, roughly the same QB rating, Marsh is 4 points higher but with about a game's worth fewer passing attempts.  Both would have to wake-up on top of a horseshoe to end up being starting QB's in the CFL.

Perfect situation to create with a well-connected veteran CFL player when you are relying on free agency to stock your roster.
 
I think the other managers around the league are laughing collectively, while Cohon and Hunt are face palming.

The annual Hamilton signing of an import LB coming off a season-ending leg injury.

You're right.  There is no difference between judging people on their character, personality, judgement and poor management/writing and judging people based solely on elements of their humanity that they don't control like gender, race and sexuality. 

Nick Moore isn't an elite #1 receiver unless he takes a quantum leap this off-season.  If Denmark is utilized like he was in the 2nd half of the season 2013 he's a 1200 yard receiver.  I'd say they are pretty comparable in terms of showing some good ability but being somewhat inconsistent in terms of production.  Denmark has better hands, Moore is a bigger target, both really good route runners.
 
I wonder if we are looking at Moore as a boundary WR to replace Matthews.  He really didn't do well at that spot in BC 2012 and finally grabbed a spot inside after they dealt Geroy.
 
That boundary WR spot is the one we need to fill.

Nope.  You have it backwards.  Nothing should be assumed, and there are good and bad people of all kinds.  The problem with what Turner said is that he is making the assumption that a gay teammate is going to be hankering for a peek at his junk, and implies that is a good reason to not have a gay teammate at all.  It's just following on stereotypes.  Imagine if a white player or coach commented that the city will be sold out of fried chicken or something like that when a black player is signed.  It's ignorant even if it is said in jest.

A gay guy would totally throw off the locker room dynamic. Now when we get all soapy and wrestle it could be taken the wrong way.

It was hugely ignorant (which is basically a nice way of saying that we hope that Turner doesn't actually believe what he said) and ignorance like that is what creates an environment where certain people are excluded for reasons unrelated to being a good professional football player.  It's the exact kind of crap that was said about different races joining the locker room.  
 
Another ignorant comment is to equate a homosexual man with a female.  Good job!
 
What Bruce said is right out of the bigotry handbook...although he managed to slip ****, ass and coochie in the sentence prior.
 
I'd rather have 10 gay football players on my team who are good players and teammates than 1 Arland Bruce.

Well, if you sign Emry (who btw IMO is one of the most overrated players in the league) you are basically taking yourself out of the running for Henoc Muamba if he gets cut by the Colts during the CFL season.
 
I don't think the Bombers even contacted Emry.

Is Glenn going to last here more than 1-2 seasons?  If the answer is no, don't bother trading for him.  Stay the course, rebuild, commit to developing younger QB's.  He doesn't make this team a contender in the West.

Bye bye Stewart.  I like Randle a lot, he's the only FA import DB I thought we'd go after.  I think he'll play field corner if everyone is healthy, but can play the weak-side too, mostly where he lined up for Calgary.
 
WCB- Sears
WHB- Washington
S- ? Muamba
SHB- Suber/Markett
SCB- Randle/McGee
 
Nickel/SAM- Banks/Dunn
Dime- Bucknor
 
That's kind of what our depth chart looks like at DB in terms of CFL veterans.
