    For one possible answer, see the general (but not universal)  difference in reaction to Andrew Harris’ failed drug test and the justification that it was a tainted sample/useless old school steroid no one would take/so minimal in reading it was effectively useless and the corresponding response to Leonard’s test refusal (and therefore unknown what if anything he was on) in Saskatchewan and all the PED Leonard comments. 

    Harris peed in the cup and got busted and protested his innocence because of whatever reasons... Leonard refused to pee in the cup, claimed innocence anyway and harassed the drug tester on the way out. It's not the same situation IMO.

    Nobody was fired. A contract wasn't renewed.

    I know that's hair-splitting, but it is relevant.

     

    And if it was only because of the alleged harassment and the Accuser can prove that, then they would win in court.

    But as I suspect that actually proving that would be a monumental hill to climb in a court room, her counsel went for plan B. Trial by media.

     

    Still think that they could have gotten the full amount they are currently asking for had they just asked. 

    There is a 0% chance that MLSE/Argos legal department would have not taken this very seriously and seized the chance to pay the asking price.

     

    Spin spin spin spin.

    Pos organization hires pos people and fans refuse to see it.

    So, yes? Blame the victims because we couldn't possibly ask grown men to not harass the staff. 

    yeah it's quite frankly offensive to everyone. Women just have to put up with being harassed and sorry men, you're just animals with no self control. 

     

    No the reason some men act like this is because they've never faced consequences for it. It's not OK to be a shitty person and the sooner crap like "well boys will be boys" goes away the better off the entirety of society will be.

    If it comes out that they attempted to have a settlement (or even went to the effort of having a meeting about the possible suit) prior to phoning up Bell Media, then I happily retract my statement.

     

    But if you think that the MLSE/Argos were offered an opportunity to rug-sweep this for the $85k "damages" as well as $50 more personally from Kelly that the Accuser claims they suffered and that they would turn it down, you're nuts.

    don't be an apologist. It's OK to admit your team employs known dirt bags. 

  5. It's Canada, those big us style awards don't happen. 

    Argos and Murphy come across looking like real trash in this situation.  Kelly is the least of the problem here. He was a ****** made a pass at a coworker and she felt uncomfortable.  So she complains and gets fired. How's that for a sit down Argo fans? This is the pg version of the reason hockey Canada is in a heap of ****.
