I disagree. I think they waited about 2 years too long.

I'm guessing tough to get back into Canada with a gun charge so no real surprise

Plus he sucks and is high salary. That combo makes these kind of decisions pretty easy. Make no mistake, if this was a player that was still good the Riders would be rolling out the excuse machine for him. It's the Rider way right now.

Lol, is it? Please do explain. If you’re so sure, you must have other examples?

"Both Marshall and 32-year-old woman Lanequa Breshay Borders who was in the car with Marshall were arrested and both face a charge of “possession of sawed-off shotgun, sawed-off rifle, dangerous weapon, or silencer,” according to jail records."

According to one member of Riderfans, Marshall was a full fledged Crip gang member with a NWA tattoo on his neck.  I do recall some talk about him flashing gang hand signs at Duke Williams in the TD Atlantic game in 2022, the same incident when Williams "allegedly" spat on him.  No surprise if Williams turns out to be a Blood I suppose.

Hughes was still suspended. 

I think it’s asinine to say the Rider org would just be okay with a player getting a weapons charge, which looks to be pretty serious. Calling that the “rider way” is just silly.

Oddly enough that was under the Jones regiment. But, I digress. 
 

You know I’m not a fan of the current Riders management, but I truly don’t think they’re an org who would bring back a potentially violent criminal.

LOL I almost feel sorry for Dickenson, he had no idea what was going on. "The boys seem to be having fun out there!"

The awkward defence of Garret Marino comes immediately to mind. Let's face it, your teams own code of conduct was thrown in the garbage the minute Reynolds took over, and sketchy characters were all over your dressing room since. Guy like Marshall has numerous online posts claiming to be a Crip posing with guns for a few years now. Your fearless leaders sat in front of microphones year after year supporting their buffoonery on and off the field and it killed the culture of your club that now must be completely rebuilt.

And I wouldn’t mind if they continue with the buffoonery. They’ll need to revert to bottle drives for money.

Weren't they on the same team in 2022?

They were teammates in 2022.  Shaq Richardson was the guy on the Argos in that altercation.

I'm actually a bit surprised there are gun offences, in murica.

going to guess he's probably a pretty tough customer.

not defending him, but it is not possible for us mostly middle class, ordinary Manitobans to understand growing up black in the ghetto..
