2022 CFL Season - Non Back 2 Back Champs News

The league has kind of painted itself into a corner here. If the rule is simply that the visiting team should avoid going into the home team’s stands, then the Williams fine os OK, but Dom Davis absolutely have been fined, even if the attempt was poor (the intent was totally there). And Williams was clearly celebrating with his team’s fans, in a special section with no threat to the opposing home town fans.

And in regard to the Argo Ti-Cat incident, it was the home team in it’s home stadium that fought with visiting fans. So either you make a blanket rule of “zero fan interaction of any kind” and things like the Bomber TD hop get banned, or you do a case by case basis based on observed threat, in which case the decisions on Williams and Davis both don’t make sense. 

So what does the league do next time a Rider jumps into his own home stands, eats nachos, gets fined, and rightfully says if that is a breach where is the Bomber fine for every TD celebration where they jump into the stands? Then the Hardrick Hop gets banned and this is why we can never have nice things. Or the Rider doesn’t get fined and where is the consistency? Especially when the league enjoyed the positive fan PR of the creative celebration and ran highlights of it on Twitter (since edited) and their website. 

This kerfuffle seems to be based on a 3D Nation article, has the league actually specified the reason for the fine?  I think separating players from fans has more to do with the CFL's Covid protocol than the incident in T.O. last season, and I don't recall any Bomber player physically entering the stands this season or last, like they did in 2019.

I know nobody wants to rehash the topic but a Rider/Argo game was re-scheduled less than a month ago due to a Covid outbreak, so it's still a thing.

Imagine comparing Bobby Clarke to Sidney Crosby. Clarke was a dirty player and a rotten person. “We didn’t tell him to go get cancer, he got goofy on us” while Sidney is a class act. Weird take. 

Ryan O' Reilly's nuts would like to have a word with you on that "class act" comment.

Bobby Clarke might be the single biggest POS in the history of the NHL and that's saying something

Are you from Winnipeg and never heard of Bobby Hull? 

This disrespect for the best Manitoba-born hockey player in the history of the universe will not stand.

Bobby Orr was the guy who watched (from ice level, mind you) Clarke hoist the Stanley Cup in 1974, I believe.

Evidence:

Funny thing, if seeing a player hoist the Cup demostrates how good he is, then you must be a big Habs fan because they won the Cup through the 70's more than Philly (and all other teams combined), but yea, he was the best player of his time...

[Geebrr]

1. Literally nobody other than you thinks Bobby Clarke was better than Bobby Orr. 
 

2. Of course a Flyers Cup picture is in black and white #lastoneever

Bye weeks are the worst 

Got me disagreeing with Noeller. That never happens

He is the best player of his era because he was the most talented/best player of his era

Speaking the truth! 

[Bubba Zanetti]

And the true value/importance of a player is someone whos presence can alter the way a game is played and his name alone can strike fear in the very hearts of the opposition. There can only be one:

Looks like Bomber bye-week is in full swing...

Well Orr really could swing his purse.

Who cares that he's from Manitoba? I guess that means he's the first shitty person to ever come out of the province. 

Guy was an objective ****ing piece of trash of a human. 

" "Roger got cancer - that wasn't our fault. We didn't tell him to go get cancer". GTFO here

Toews wishes he could be 1/10th the player that the Great Bobby Clarke was.
