Arnold_Palmer Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 2 hours ago, Jesse said: I don't revel in things of this nature as it's bad for the league as a whole. I am embarrassed as a CFL fan that this idiocy is part of our league and there's seemingly nothing to be done beyond a BS suspension. Yeah I don’t like the bad publicity that’s associated with the CFL, it’s a wonderful league, with skilled players, rich history and strong diversity. To someone who knows little about the league this is a bad way to introduce the league. Eternal optimist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedFlex27 Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 So, after the apology by the Riders & Marino, if they appeal the suspension then what they say meant nothing. Mark F and Tracker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

SpeedFlex27 Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 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. Rod Black 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 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.

JCon Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 This is a leaguewide embarrassment. And, it's during the high-profile Touchdown Atlantic week.

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. 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.
