Whoa, imagine that...

Ha, good one!

I like this effort. Every vote counts...

Alberta gets a lot of love as the Home For Backwoods Redneck Assholes, but honestly, Sask is right up there. One of Canada's first and only KKK homes was southern Sask.

2020 can f**k right off already. 😞

Its absurb to say that the system was secure. GWB admin was absolutely corrupt and stole massive amounts of $$ from the American people - Trump is not an aberration, he is a natural progression - Roger Stone, etc have all been in place since Nixon... The question is... was the 'system' ever not corrupt or do we just have more access to information now?

Sad but true state of affairs, even in Winnipeg look no further than the Human Rights museum debacle for racism, sexism and general injustices.

You'd have to think China/India hiding a lot.

one of my best friends from HS is stumping right now on his FB page for HCQ as an effective treatment because a vaccine will likely never come. Also says that suicides and other "lockdown-related" deaths are greatly outnumbering the deaths caused by COVID itself, so apparently the lockdown is worse than the disease. I just sat there staring at the screen for a couple of minutes. I mean, this is a guy who graduated from school of geniuses With Honours..........aaaaaaaaaaaand yet.........................................?

Misspelled Alt-right as Centre-right. I'm sure Clement is fleecing someone out of money.

Oh, please do. It's so well done and he's great.

There are POS fans across the league. We see it here, where our own fans want them to just shut up and play football. 50/50, they'll say to justify their racism.

I'm sure, if he did, Fox would do a one hour breakdown of Biden riding a bike, explaining how weak he is and must be very ill.

No kidding.

If only he would do a header coming off a plane

Sure, for decades, seen all kinds of stuff, go down. But, the big difference here, whether it is abusing executive branch powers,attacking judicial and legislative branches, dismissing traditional allies, cozening up to dictators, enriching himself and family, nepotism, burning down the emoluments clause or the Hatch Act, treating any major crisis like a political football, politicizing the DOJ, endorsing fascists, and inciting class and culture warfare...... ....is simply how blatantly and openly Trump goes about all of this.....literally shoving it right into peoples faces. The more he gets away with it, of course the more the Don will push the envelope. It also helps that the current Republican Party is now merely a gutless bunch of total lackeys, and complete flunkies....who spend their time face planting and kowtowing to the mighty Trump.

Trump's third wife doesn't think much of them either. But, she's a pretty horrible person herself.

I had my eye on a Texas Christian jersey - never heard of the school he played for...

This is a sobering read.

Whoa check this conspiracy... Covid is acting exactly like every other coronavirus that ever existed... #mindblown Herd immunity was and still is our best hope - there is no vaccine coming, the virus is weakening - but we are keeping it stronger for longer - and we are still not adequately protecting the ones actually threatened by covid... https://www.businessinsider.com/long-term-coronavirus-immunity-t-cells-2020-8?fbclid=IwAR0Bv_6fde3c_gXY4lkN3m70ksLxFtHZdAqJCWT-cNxwSSvCOUjZsOb6eWQ

Holy crap, Trumps sister really doesn't think to much of Trump and his kids

Did you know a THRUPPENCE is worth threepence and a TRUMPPENCE is worthless?

Uh... ok- here you go? Hope this eases the pain?

In the good news section of politics:

Maybe they should just sell some fake shares if they're that desperate for money.

The fan base is not a bad idea, just not affordable by most fan basers. Now if the Bombers could have their own fan base at say, $100, that likely would be doable. Maybe after the current promotion so that it doesn’t interfere.

So, I've seen this take a lot online....and my first instinct is to 100% agree with you, because I felt the same way about the Grey Cup rings that you could get as a fan. And in regards to that (not having "earned" it), a buddy at work said this to me: "As Bombers fans...with everything you've endured...especially in the last 30 years.....have you not 'earned' something special?" Now that's a fair point.....and maybe it applies to that Grey Cup base as well?? If I could afford to drop $400 for something like that, I might. But I think I'd be more inclined to do something like purchase Bombers seasons tickets to support the team directly, rather than a league-wide initiative...

Of course it is a cash grab. Not that there is anything wrong with that per se. If a league finds new ways to generate income and there is fan interest, more power to them. And the league certainly needs a cash infusion. The Bombers for example generated $11.5 million on ticket sales alone last year, 32% of their income. Their game day, concessions, and merch sales were another 24%. All those totals will essentially dry up this year. So they need the cash badly to keep the operation going (paying staff who were not laid off is just one example). But here is where I have a problem with it. The Bombers are community owned, so their books are public. They made a $3.5 million profit last year, which is in line with their 5 years average. Saskatchewan and Edmonton (the other 2 community owned teams) each lost money - the Riders $200,000 (essentially the cost of their Grey Cup bid and prep) and the "let's not call them THAT anymore" 's lost $1.1 million. We have no idea about the other 6 teams, but each club ponied up $680,000 to keep the Als running when they had no owner, so they were $5.45 million in the glue while they were rudderless. The big issue for me is those 5 or 6 privately owned teams (honestly have no idea where Montreal is at these days). All the private owners (David Braley in BC, Bob Young in Hamilton, MLSE in Toronto, Calgary Flames through Murray Edwards in Calgary, and Roger Greenberg in Ottawa) are all in the $1 billion + net worth range at least (MLSE alone is worth $4 billion). They won't open their books, but they were unable or unwilling to pony up their own money to keep the league operating this season, and now the CFL wants $400 from each fan to generate revenue. If the owners are making money off their teams (and the Bombers have shown in the last 5 years that you can generate profits off of your team) then it really sucks that they capsized the year and the league now want the fans to pay to keep it afloat after the Government handout failed. If they are not making money by and large, then it is time to scrap the current version of the league and figure out a financially viable way to run it, or bury it forever. In either circumstance, don't run to the fans first for a cash grab. Get your own house in order, then you can soak us with ticket prices, but at least we get a little entertainment for our spent money, and not just a meaningless engraving on a plaque.

This just reeks of cash-grab to me... every aspect of it just seems such a gimmicky way of doing things... the fact that the certificate of authenticity is digital and I can have an 'augmented reality' of the Grey Cup in my home? So... $400 for a bad photoshop and a PDF? Yeah...hard pass. The missus and I already got our photo (which was free, by the way) with the real Grey Cup, went to the game when they won... oh and speaking of the Grey Cup... just wanted to point out this gimmick costs MORE than an actual ticket to the Grey Cup?

The Cup is won by the players and coaches, they have worked to earn their right to have their name engraved on it. Even if it is just a "fan base", I see no reason why I should get to immortalize myself on a part of the Cup as a fan. Already have my name in the concrete paving stone in front of IGF, so they have honoured my fandom in that fashion. JMO.

Look no further than MBB.

Protestors at Walmart/Superstore on Regent today.

Maybe if I felt that the the CFL BOG's & Commissioner actually respected the fans I'd be willing to do this but to me, we don't even rate as far as the CFL is concerned. If it did, they would get rid of UFA & one year deals. There is too much player movement & we get the same old BS excuse from the CFL telling us that one year deals are the best because we get better players coming up here. Funny, I don't see any Doug Fluties, Tracy Hams, Dieter Brocks or Tom Clements coming up here as qbs anymore. Can't tell me that Dan Kepley, Brian Herosian, Tyrone Jones, James West, James Murphy & Willard Reaves aren't as good as the players of today that only want to be here for a year. I'll never buy that argument as I've seen players from different ewras play & they were as good as any players coming up today. UFA causes nothing but chaos. Teams have a hard time building & maintaining a winning team with players coming & going. So until that changes & the CFL realizes they are nothing without US so they better respect us, I wouldn't spend a penny on this initiative. I'd rather spend the money on merchandise.
