Good due diligence before signing him..clown show just continues there

And as for the injury...well deserved justice done legally for the cheap head shot he took earlier in the game on Woli...u know 100 percent it was on Sheeds mind and when he saw a chance to bury him ...he did

If I were a wagering man I would suggest that after all the media uproar about Kelly being there, some tall forehead at MLSE phoned Pinball and asked him WTF were you thinking.

Seems self-explanatory. He was there and now he isn’t.

Yep. I would say for sure Pinball had to have some difficult conversations with his bosses the last couple days.

Wow a guy with a history of disrespect to women has a **** take on respectful work place behavior towards women....color me surprised...

I mean, I would imagine he’s *technically* right but someone needs to tell him that in a case like this, *technically* isn’t the side of the argument you want to be on.

100%. Surprise surprise though it's defending debauchery by the argos.  He may not get canned right away, but I think this is gonna lead to the end of his career up here.

Argos gonna argo

Barker's right. If you want equality, you have to treat everyone the same. Of course what we like to call equality is actually 'special' groups who we need to 'protect'. 

Barker should be turfed.

I see that you're one of the 'special groups need to be protected' = equality guys. 

 

I think it's dumb when people get fined for criticizing the league.

If I'm in Barker's position and I took a bad fine in the past, I'd take this opportunity to fight for free speech. When they fined him, I'm sure he was against it, but now he's suddenly on the league's side and these women should be fined? Noooope.

Barker is an idiot trotting out a false equivalency from 15 years ago.

Nobody is criticizing the league.  They are criticizing the Argos and idiots like Pinball and Barker.

Barker is taking is personally because he brought Kelly to the league and is all in.

A broke clock is right twice a day. Which is 2 times a day more often than people who make being antithetical their entire personality.

There were some fluff pieces about him as the architect of the argos championship team that made it seem like he was being poised for yet another front office return to the league. The cancerous nature of the argos might be killing it, and that might be what he is railing against.

Marcoux went on to say how she and female staff members across the league have advised CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie the handling of this “extremely serious situation has been a complete and utter failure from top to bottom.”

“You promised to go above and beyond the league recommendations,” she posted. “Yet at the first opportunity to do so, you did the complete opposite. You have only managed to downplay a serious situation and make women across the league feel unvalued, disrespected and unsupported. Do better.”

Give the whole quote:

“Pinball, you said yesterday ‘We will give Chad Kelly all the support he needs.’ What are you doing to support your female staff that now have to face coming to work every day with a predator in the building? Have you even spoken to them about your decision to allow this?

As I and many female staff members across the league have communicated to Randy Ambrosie, the handling of this extremely serious situation has been a complete and utter failure from top to bottom. You promised to go above and beyond the league recommendations.

Yet at the first opportunity to do so, you did the complete opposite. You have only managed to downplay a serious situation and make women across the league feel unvalued, disrespected and unsupported. Do better.”

This is directed at Pinball and also .. your privilege is showing just a bit.

The bolded part is clear. The you in the statement is Randy Ambrosie, IE the league. 

Privilege? What privilege? 

Old man, out of touch with the world, keeps digging a deeper hole. Block and ignore, people, block and ignore.

Barker was sued in the past by a female atheletic therapist so he might just be bitter about his experience in a similar situation.  It's laughable that he trotted out the fact that the Argos apparently did their own investigation and found nothing wrong. The leaked report showed differently - Barker has zero credibility on this issue.
