So, after the apology by the Riders & Marino, if they appeal the suspension then what they say meant nothing.

A guy can be guilty, agree that he’s guilty and not be satisfied with the penalty. Chris Edwards as an example. Martesano said he won’t appeal and neither would the CFLPA.

It's 2022, how come the CFL & CFLPA haven't figured this out yet?

Laws, contracts, and policies continue to evolve. As an example John Diefenbaker defining the Bill of Rights was a cornerstone and signalled a change that eventually would bring about the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The backlash would be like a tsunami against the Players Assn.

yeah. Too late to change a position. Not that he should even consider altering his acceptance of the penalty 

I think Marino is one or two hits away from being thrown out of the league. A leopard can't change his spots. He's done & he knows it.

I'm trying to remember if a player has ever been banned from the league for onfield stuff.  

I can think of a couple of banned guys -- there was Manziel violating his contract conditions and there was a dude who had a bad domestic on him and the league either voided his contract or said they wouldn't register one for him -- but those were things that happened away from the field.

I've never even heard of this clown before. That would require me to pay attention to Rider players.

Thursday would be a very good day for Craig “Koresh” Dickinson to apologize for his comments. 

Amazing that a CFL HC would criticize a suspension handed out by the league.

I just assumed that it was from the tire fire that is the Riders franchise...

This is a leaguewide embarrassment. And, it's during the high-profile Touchdown Atlantic week. 

 

What sort of embarrassment will the Riders be during the week of Grey Cup??

The thing is that every single player in this league knows it too, and are going to provoke the crap out of him. Does anyone believe he will grit his teeth and take it. I don't.

Ahhh! A friend?

Marino issues apology, told cflpa to not appeal suspension.

says masoli hit was unintentional.

Might be that admitting it was intentional would be invitation to a law suit. 

looks like a lawyer drafted the thing.

Guess well see whats next for this guy.

Makes one wonder what sort of disgusting **** he says behind closed doors. Low quality character seems like a compliment.

He did not apologize for trying to take out Boyds knees a few plays earlier, barely alluded to the hit that injured Masoli, made most of his apology about a "misunderstanding" of his racist comments, and made no apology for the grotesque victory lap he did knowing full well he ended a man's season and had just been ejected for it. 

This apology is almost condescending. How anyone could think this is a proper apology is beyond me. The Riders organization should have at least made sure their pre-written apology that they wrote for Marino contained an apology for each suspension. All he seems sorry for was the racist comments.

I just recently read a book called Year of the Rocket. CFL had issues then and that's 30+ years ago. I am amazed sometimes how long it has lasted.
