Or imagine a broadcaster on HNIC advocating the Leafs do this. Bettman would lose his ****. I think the issue here is Suitor has become too comfortable in his position with TSN. There's nobody younger bucking to replace him so he's become cocky, opionated & arrogant. He's not afraid to show his biases. He needs to be reigned in as a commentator. His tweet kinda says it all. Like, "What'd I say?? C'mon!" He just has absolutely no idea. BigBlueFanatic and rebusrankin 2

Geebrr Posted January 17, 2022 Report Posted January 17, 2022 I heard the interview. He was not misquoted or misinterpreted. Embarrassing. He needs to be removed from Rider games at the very least. Dr Zaius, Tracker and SpeedFlex27 2 1
TrueBlue4ever Posted January 17, 2022 Report Posted January 17, 2022 He is loving the attention that comment has gotten him. Rule 1 of the Charles Adler school of broadcasting “It doesn’t matter if people love you or hate you. What matters is that they’re talking about you”.

blue_gold_84 Posted January 17, 2022 Report Posted January 17, 2022 What an assclown. Puts his foot in his mouth and then doubles down by swallowing it. The CFL and TSN should be looking into this and doling out some form of punishment. But I won't hold my breath.

I fail to see how a person who is payed to represent the league is the same as a fan forum....? I think that it is a bit of a reach to say he is a league rep. He works for a broadcaster who has the TV rights. That doesn’t make him beholden to the league and must follow their marching orders. TSN broadcasts game for their own benefit (ratings and advertising dollars generated from it). They don’t speak “for” the league. And when a broadcaster appears on a local podcast, his comments are going to be about that team, and he will play to that base. Now, is it a bad look for the league for him to say a team should violate the cap? Yes, but not specifically because it is Suitor saying it or it is the Roughriders as the focal point. It’s bad because it highlights how weak the penalties are for violations (Toronto went over and the league waived their penalty) and how the payoff more than makes the violation worth it. Sask netted over $10 million in profit from winning their last home Grey Cup and the league does nothing to really dissuade the practice. Edited January 17, 2022 by TrueBlue4ever

Had this same discussion on Twitter with some chick in Saskatchewan. It's truly shocking how many people can't see what the difference between a random fan advocating cheating versus a member of the national media who's job it is to cover the cfl. Unreal.

17to85 Posted January 17, 2022 Report Posted January 17, 2022 As the top colour commentator for the leagues national broadcaster you gotta be impartial. If he was the riders media guy sure no big deal. But he isn't. Geebrr, Noeller and SpeedFlex27 3

TBURGESS Posted January 18, 2022 Report Posted January 18, 2022 Suitor has never been impartial. He's a Rider through and through and always has been. He's a fan and an ex player who has a mic, not a league spokesman. The rules say teams can go over the SMS limit and pay a fine. Suitor and tons of other fans have said that their team should take advantage of that rule. It gets clicks. It get fans talking. It makes the CFL relevant in the middle of the off season. That's Suitor's job description. Those of you who get on the 'That's terrible' bandwagon are helping Suitor be relevant at this time of year. bryan35 1

Are you professional in your job? That's what this is about. Asking suitor to be professional in his job.
