I think it is kind of a chicken and the egg thing. Who wants to spend that much money on a stadium (typically government will need to step up here) when no one really knows if a CFL team will be supported.

How bad do you have to be when George Dub chimes in against you. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/oct/19/george-w-bush-trump-bigotry-lies-coded-attack

Of course, that has always been the argument. Why do you think First Nations are allowed to own and operate casinos? The argument has been that gambling has always been part of their culture before everyone from Europe showed up. http://www.lazchar.com/2016/04/11/aboriginal_first_nations_gamibling-law_canada/ Now if you want to argue that this history has nothing to do with owning and operating casinos, I don't think I'd argue that. Don't at all agree with the lawsuit. But the precedent has been set in Canada and the US that gaming is part of the First Nations culture.

Interesting comments from his agent. Apparently there has been no contact for two weeks. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/bombers-draft-choice-cut-by-nfl-wants-money-or-freedom-agent-says-451283713.html So basically they want a lot of money and likely only for the remainder of this year.

Kaepernick filing grievance against owners for collusion
Rich replied to Rich's topic in General Discussion
Disagree. This pretty much puts a nail in the coffin of his career. Now he just wants to write the final chapter and have his day in court. I doubt it. From everything thing I've seen and read, this is a topic he felt passionately about, and decided to take a stand, I'm betting with eyes wide open. His career is done. And like I said, not everything in life is about money. He made a stand for something he passionately believes in. I have a lot of respect for that. History is full of people who sacrificed where if they didn't, progress wouldn't be made. Life isn't always about coasting through the path of least resistance. It will be near impossible to prove, but yes I believe this is collusion. Especially for a league who gives second chances to wife beaters, drug addicts, and criminals. Who is the real trouble maker? -
Kaepernick filing grievance against owners for collusion
Rich replied to Rich's topic in General Discussion
His actions have started a movement for awareness that has transcended football and into all sports and mainstream news. Not everything is always about money. He did what he did to bring awareness to a cause he believed in. Doing it for 2 games would not have the same effect. Other people picked up his cause only when he got black listed. Sometimes you have to sacrifice for what you believe in Job well done, I'd say. While I doubt he will win, I hope he buries the NFL in his lawsuit. The hypocrisy of giving woman and child abusers a second and third chance, but you can't have someone executing a peaceful protest.... -
Stamps @ Awful Masolis / Redblacks @ Ridirts
Rich replied to USABomberfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
People keep stating this like Hall was on the whiteboard one day and said I'm going to build a defence where my MLB can just chew up a blocker and not have to do anything else really well,. This is mostly based on a few responses from O'Shea who would never through a player under the bus. What the more likely explanation is that the defence has been setup to accommodate Hurl's shortcomings, not the other way around. You can't tell me if we had someone like an Elimimian on the roster he would be asked to do what Hurl does. And even if he was, he would be far more effective than Hurl out there and make more plays. Is that the extreme example of a MLB? Yes. But you get the point. Hurl is asked to do what he is capable of. Nothing more. That is why people complain. They want a better playmaker at MLB. -
