In fairness to the league, it IS the biggest suspension they have ever handed down apparently.... 

Because they split the punishment into different crimes, it is not. He received a two game suspension for the hit.

The fact that they were unwilling to raise the minimum suspension for a repeat offender (in only 12 games played) is baffling to me.

Now that they've reinforced the precedent of two-games, are we going to see it again the next time he takes a player out for the season?

Not to mention the one game suspension for making insults/comments about Masoli's heritage. "Diversity is Strength" my ass.

No doubt Marino will be a marked man and out of the league by the end of the year. Okay- maybe Chris Jones might pick him up.

You can rag on Jones for his questionable morals but it's the Riders that know who this trash is, knows he tries to hurt people and know is a racist piece of crap but they keep him on payroll and defend him.  

Let's make sure the finger points in the right direction.

Well he may need a new QB soon. 

Will Dickenson impose a one game on top of the 4 or was that just empty threats as he knew the league would be coming down on him?

Bet ya he does **** all. 

Marino gets one game for a racial slur?? How can the league justify one game for that?? He should have been suspended for the remaider of the season & playoffs. So much for Randy's Diversity Is Strength. Words mean nothing.

Exactly. He'll do nothing.

Hopefully he appeals it, it takes a month for the league to fight it then it gets imposed August 19th. Riders then play back to back BC and then back to back against us

Empty for sure....and if they even dress him again it's pathetic

If any player has been treated like a piece of meat it's Arbuckle.

The 1 game suspension is a step in the right direction. Khalif Mitchell only got a fine for a racist tweet.

Guaranteed he has no idea what he did wrong and is so upset that he had to apologize.

Pretty much confirmed what an idiot Dickieboi is ..good grief

The tweets by the SK HC is real. Had to check cause I couldnt believe it. 

Dickenson clueless and out of touch… haha at least he apologized publicly.  Marino probably muzzled by the club as he would no doubt scream he’d do it again if he could - his repeated actions already match so this isn’t even a reach!

These were post suspension ideas. Turns out the coach made it worse.

Unless something has changed, two games is the maximum allowable under the CBA.

Incredible. Can’t believe he could be that stupid.

Marino is Dickenson's guy. Trash organization from top to bottom. No class, no clue. 

Dickenson said what some and I will emphasize some of their fans were saying. Clueless comments.

The racist thing may be worse than the hit. There was enough evidence of him saying racist things that they could suspend him, must have been pretty bad. How do you keep a guy around after that? 

If a Bomber did this, I feel the mafia would cut him the next day. It is the Rider Clown Show so suspect they will rally to support him.

Rebus nailed it!

Sounds like they want to make a martyr out of 92. Hyperbole warning - “the Saskatchewan Roughriders Football Club today announced they have commissioned a statue for poor ol’ Garrett and have retired his number”.

Their radio guy is also using the same excuse...  trash organization, inside and out.

Dickenson went so far as to tweet that he feels that the 4 games in excessive punishment and that he hopes Marino appeals it. Gotta love it when a HC, who has completely lost control of his dressing room's discipline, gets a golden opportunity to change that and instead opts to double down on his stupidity. Never change Dickie....never change. I love it that the RIders are asshats, because asshats don't win big games.
