Well the CFL would not have taken the action they have without some pretty solid evidence that Kelly's behaviour was inappropriate. And as other have noted, it would also suggest that others within...

The media articles on the statement by the CFL do say that there was no announcement regarding any penalties or sanctions against the Argos, but that the "conduct of the Argos in this matter, as laid...

That part doesn't make any sense to me at all - that Pinball was aware of all of this. It seems to go against everything Pinball stands for. Is it possible that this situation got swept under the...

I feel exactly the same way. I have been a life long Argos fan and I have loved the way that the powers that be have built the organization over the decades and the positive influence they have on...

I do hope he gets the health he obviously needs, I just don't think he should be a member of the Argos as he does so.

Well Kelly doesn't seem to learn from his mistakes as his past behaviour proves. The man is almost 30 years old and obviously very immature. I think he will just continue to be a headache for Argos...

I agree Paul - obviously the CFL review found something pretty serious in their review to warrant a 9 game suspension etc. And Kelly has shown immaturity and bad judgement on more than one occasion....

Very cool!!!

Yeah I totally agree with this, especially as she was a "strength and conditioning coach" and maybe the needs and requirements of some team members was also changing over time. Almost any profession...

Well it's interesting that in the Argo's statement of defence claim they mention that management advised her last Fall that she would have to improve her skills to maintain her position on the team. ...

Yes I was thinking the same thing. Pinball is so media savvy and is great at PR, that one would hope that he could talk to Kelly about how to try and deal with all of this. Don't mean to sound too...

I think it depends on what kind of documented evidence the complainant has. The Human Rights Code defines harassment as "engaging in a course of vexatious (annoying or provoking) comment or conduct...

I hope you are right.

Or maybe there are a lot of people that are just willing to let Kelly behave any way he wants and trivialize his bad behaviour because he played well last season!

Well the bottom line is the Argos shouldn’t have to deal with any of this and maybe wouldn’t be if Kelly was more mature and as you put it not “actually like a giant asshole!” I just disappointed...

Okay point taken, but being accused of harassment is just as serious and disturbing. Kelly has talent for sure, but I have a bad feeling that the Argos are going to have continually deal with his...

Yes agree it's a real shame. This situation has cast a shadow over the upcoming Argo season and I think there's no question it will hinder how they can market and promote the Argos. It has...

HA, ha, ha - I like it. "It Could be Worse" as the Ticket Sales Slogan - it acknowledges some of the challenges that the Argos might face, but also has that "silver lining" aspect to it!!!

Totally agree with everything you've said here. Considering Kelly is almost 30 years, he seems remarkably immature and where the hell is his judgement. I think most people in a similar situation...

We were discussing earlier how it seemed like the best thing would be if this is settled out of court. But based on Jim Barker's comments about the process, it sounds like if this happens, everyone...

Yeah I was kind of surprised that Kelly posted anything because usually lawyers advise people not to make any comments at all.

Yes the investigation definitely needs to be completed within the next month, especially when you consider that:


Rookie camps across the country will open on May 8 with teams being required to...

It will be interesting to see what the CFL does if their investigation does find that the Argos were informed of the problem, but did not follow up in any way (no discussions with individuals...

I'm also curious how someone can claim "wrongful dismissal" when they have been hired on contract on a year to year basis. I don't know the law on this, but one would think it's the organization's...

Oh PLEASE - "ritualistic punishment and humiliation of players" - No that's what people on here are saying. Everyone has noted that we have to wait and see all the facts and information come out...
