IC Khari Posted April 19, 2017 Report Posted April 19, 2017 I signed up at the new improved Riderfans for sh*ts and giggles. I still haven't received my email back from them yet though LOL.
Atomic Posted April 19, 2017 Report Posted April 19, 2017 I like the thread about the guy who went to Reddit to figure out what was wrong with Riderfans and was shocked by their reputation. Quote I didn't know this was a website that completely dedicated to digitally arse kissing Coach Jones. Really? You didn't know that? wbbfan and Al Bundy 2
TrueBlue Posted April 19, 2017 Report Posted April 19, 2017 Commish making an example out of this one: Quote STATEMENT FROM CANADIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE COMMISSIONER JEFFREY L. ORRIDGE ON JUSTIN COX Earlier today, the Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club released Justin Cox after being informed of an incident involving domestic violence. Our clubs have been informed that should any team decide to sign Mr. Cox to a Standard Player Contract, I will refuse to register that contract. This authority rests with the Commissioner under our league’s Constitution. The Canadian Football League is committed to doing its part to eradicate violence against women. As is stated in our Policy on Violence Against Women, “the CFL condemns violence against women in all of its forms, including domestic violence, sexual violence, sexual assault, and verbal abuse, as well as the disrespectful and demeaning attitudes that foster violence or the tolerance of such violence.” In keeping with the policy, the CFL has worked with Saskatchewan to ensure appropriate outreach is made to local police and support and counseling services. We must all do what we can to ensure the safety of women and to urge perpetrators to seek the help they need to change their behaviour and stop the violence. -CFL Commissioner Jeffrey L. Orridge MOBomberFan, bigg jay, JCon and 5 others 8

Man, I don't know how many times I clicked on that realtor's ad in error. My issue with that site is how many so called insiders they have. It seems everyone knows a guy but they don't post any info as it would disclose their source.

I guess this is the result of having multiple incidents along the same line. However I wouldn't want to see similar action taken against someone facing charges for their first offence. Convictions, sure, but not charges.

SpeedFlex27 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Posted April 19, 2017 If only the CFL had been this diligent about performance enhancing drugs as well as suspending players for such offenses. Orridge had to be dragged kicking & screaming into the 21st century on that one. wbbfan 1

The Violence Against Women initiative I would also think plays a part in how this was worthy of a public statement like this. Tracker, Bigblue204 and JCon 3

I understand & agree. My point was Orridge tried to prevent testing. It was public pressure as well as the CFLPA who pressured him into relenting. The guy isn't what he seems to be.

Exaggerated...perhaps....untrue...nope not at all. I retract the statement about his accuracy being zero and will replace it with it being low, and the rest is completely true. Don't believe me ask Lyin'Guy. People are banned by Stronson all the time simply for calling out his accuracy. There are people all over various CFL forums that have reported this.

The topic was Ed Hervey being fired. Apparently RS, a self proclaimed hater of the evil empire, was a torch bearer for this secret. He knew about it but chose not to tell anyone. Yea right...

Mike Posted April 20, 2017 Report Posted April 20, 2017 All I will say is that they don't ban anyone just for questioning RS (or anyone else) - you've had a very long leash over there, as have I, and you know it. The times you were banned, you definitely deserved it (as did I when I was banned) and it was probably long overdue. I don't think we'd do anything differently over here. And Gov does care. The rest of it is largely accurate.

Al Bundy Posted April 20, 2017 Report Posted April 20, 2017 While I've not been banned I have had posts deleted for pointing out how wrong RS is. That place changes outright lies into facts in about 3 pages.
