    Blueandgold got a reaction from bearpants in 2019-20 CFL Offseason   
    He didn’t go on a homophobic rant. He literally said that he doesn’t support gay marriage. He didn’t say that he hates gay people or anything derogatory towards them. Not to mention that gay marriage is still relatively new and that many people grew up in religious households where that is not supported. Someone should not be lynched for having a different view than you or I.

    We should focus on educating people on why that thought is considered inappropriate. Instead, we resort to calling the person a bigot and demand they lose their job. People participating in cancel culture as the ones who are saying we need to be tolerant of everyone’s views. Yet at the same time, are also the first ones to call a person a piece of **** on social media and not engage in any sort of discussion with them. 

    I just think that educating and reasoning is a better option than automatically declaring that the person is garbage.

    That's why I said his money was good for the cfl. Beyond that you will have a hard time convincing me he is any kind of good owner.

    I'm hopeful for the 2020 season but I'm confident the league will survive. I agree the government can't allow the CFL to fold.

    Yeah it's impossible to watch everything all the time, best we generally manage watching live is a couple stand out plays here and there. 
    Most people recognize that they're doing that. 
    Then you had guys like gbill or whatever the **** he called himself would see things completely differently from reality and get pissy when called on it. Good times.

    I remain confident that there will be a 2020 season and that the league will surivive. Its too much a part of the Canadian indentity to be allowed to fold.

    Former Winnipeg Blue Bombers chair takes Canadian government to task over lack of CFL support

    “I really had hoped the Canadian government would have stepped up and been a more active partner earlier in this to allow whatever planning has to go on, knowing that they have that partnership,” Asper told show host Christian Aumell and co-host Bob Irving.

    Guys like Hufnagel, Hervey & others have to bite the bullet. Not fair they draw such large salaries that even with a 30% pay cut they still make $300=400,000 a year while the videographer or an assistant coach on their teams making thousands less are let go.  Bite the bullet. Total BS with upper management being overpaid.

    I mean, it blows my mind that nobody in the CFL office thought “hey, if the global pandemic makes cash flow difficult, a good alternative would be lowering the Argos’ salary cap for 2020 by the amount they went over in 2019”
    Skating by with no penalty? That’s an absolute joke lol

    Two reasons. One, she's not particularly good at what she does. I have no doubts she's very nice, but she stumbles her way through every hit she does, be it Jets or Bombers games. Two, just because you are a sideline reporter doesn't mean you can do PBP. Not sure how many times I have to tell people, it's an extremely unique skillset that takes years of practice to become even adequate at.
