Here's more on how Jamie Bone was treated by the Tiger Cats, who admitted in court they had decided what would happen to him before TC. However, the Dallas Cowboys thought enough of Bone to give him a tryout, making him in the process the first Canadian university QB to sign a NFL contract.
https://books.google.ca/books?id=hUC...owboys&f=falseBone attended Hamilton's 1979 training camp but was cut. He took the Tiger Cats before a Human Rights tribunal alleging that he had been denied a chance to work because of his nationality. The club admitted that they had made up their mind before training camp who would be the starters. Some won his case and was awarded $10,000. The Tiger Cats were ordered to provide him with a 14-day tryout in 1980. Instead he tried his luck with the Dallas Cowboys and when he was cut, returned to Canada without playing in the CFL.
