Brandon Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Maybe we have the curse of bringing back receivers? Didn't Matthews come back and either stab someone or was stabbed himself? Maybe it's a curse like the Madden curse? We simply can't sign an impact receiver without something bad happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly, if you read articles and not just headlines it is always mentioned that it is due to the DUI. I don't see anyone sugarcoating this.

Rod Black Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Any player needs to bring themselves within the legal requirements to work within a host country. This time it’s a criminal issue. Bombers could be a facilitating party, but the law places he onus on the individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has read my posts about Sankey knows that I feel he is a one trick pony. However, if Biggie went down in game 16 he is an option available that wouldn't totally hoop us. Certainly not suggesting he could replace Biggie though..no one could. Edited June 6, 2023 by GCn20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he took care of the DUI like he should have, there'd be no immigration issue. The issue is immigration and a work visa. He's inadmissible under his previous visa with the conviction. There's no way to "take care of the DUI" to avoid this. The visa issue should have been taken care of earlier Jesse and Tracker 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, you may be able to argue that he could have dealt with the immigration issue sooner, but there' no way to know that for sure, This may just be how long it has taken.

Brandon Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 I think what he is saying is that if Lawler didn't get himself into legal issues then none of this would be a problem. Yes he is correct on that but we cannot reverse time. If we need to point a finger at this point it's the lawyer or possibly his agent for not crossing all t's and dotting all i's and making sure everything was air tight.

He only pled guilty to the DUI charges this past April when he was charged in Oct. 2021, don't know why it took so long or if he had any control over the court date, but that's the reason his work visa hasn't been sorted out yet.

Being called a Rider fan is nothing short of slanderous—nothing lower than accusing me of having an incurable addiction to green face paint and excessive amounts of banjo music! How funny it is that my kids also insist I wax poetic too often, but I refuse their critique and continue indulging in my musings. blue_gold_84, Booch, Geebrr and 2 others 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have taken care of the DUI before this April. It happened 610 days ago. No DUI = No problem. It isn't an immigration issue, it's a DUI issue. Folks want to say it's everyone except Lawler's fault, but that's just making excuses. No it's not his agents fault for not taking care of it for him. No, it's not the Bombers fault for not taking care of it for him. No, it's not the PA's fault for not warning him. All he had to do was google "dui canada border" and he would have found out what to do. The whole situation is totally Lawler's fault for getting a DUI and not taking care of things way back in October 2021.

blue_gold_84 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 4 minutes ago, TBURGESS said: It isn't an immigration issue, it's a DUI issue. The two are related. As a foreign national, a DUI (charge or conviction) technically* makes him criminally inadmissible. Whatever wasn't dealt with back in 2021 is 100% on him and it's frustrating to have to speculate on what was missed nearly two years later. It's baffling that this was allowed to fester for as long as it has, to the point he's now suspended and it remains unresolved. But it is what it is. * there are provisions for individuals - such as athletes, artists, musicians, and other entertainers - to permit entry (Temporary Resident Permit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmike71 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Not quite sure what TBURGESS is trying to say here. Yes Lawler shouldn’t have been drinking and driving, everyone can agree on that but as far as taking care of it October 21st. He had to wait for his court date. For the record it is an immigration issue due to him taking responsibility for a DUI. How is it that one person in particular always thinks they are right and everyone else wrong?

You think a guy can just dictate when his thing is processed through the justice system? It's still an immigration issue at this point. That it's related to his guilty pleasure doesn't change that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
