We see it here, where our own fans want them to just shut up and play football. 50/50, they'll say to justify their racism. Sad but true state of affairs, even in Winnipeg look no further than the Human Rights museum debacle for racism, sexism and general injustices. blue_gold_84 and Bigblue204 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He apologized for offending the non-racist Rider fans. If you read the comments in his twitter feed, so you quickly discover what vile, disgusting human beings those racist folk are. Again, we see it right here among Bomber fans too. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I despise the Rider fanbase, there are a minority who are you know whats. Most of them are good people. It's a vocal minority that spoil it for the rest of them. Just like there are people who are racist in every fanbase that spoil it for everyone else. The Bomber fanbase is no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vocal minority argument could be true if the message from that group did not filter into every discussion that involved POC. I applaud Evans for calling out the bigots during this movement towards change. Hope more players do this. blue_gold_84 and Mark H. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 really tho much ado about nothing..some may get a sniff and maybe a workout, but majority are just grasping at straws and hoping to get some kind of income for playing this year..I'd bet 99 percent are back in CFL next year MOBomberFan, M.Silverback, rebusrankin and 4 others 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Watching and hearing about all of these 'opt outs' is so bloody disheartening...It's like the league is going through a 'death by a thousand cuts' every time you hear about one of our guys going south...Can't blame them for trying ...but crappy to follow at the same time ....I hope and believe also most of these players will return next year ...........................hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Opting out is not copping out, this is just a protection for the players negotiated by the CFLPA. It’s really the only option they have to have a long shot chance to play football with somebody. Very few will make it. Theadric Hansen being the best example of someone who will play..in Poland. Edit - Deadline for #CFL players to opt out of contracts has been extended. League source said no new deadline specified yet.
