Oh no!

And meanwhile, according to Madani (so take it for what it's worth, but IMO his reports are usually accurate), Masoli is unvaxed but will of course be playing.

If Argos end up playing this game without MBT, my lifelong love affair with the league and the team might finally be over. The org should not have placed their most important player at risk of getting quarantined, so that's on us, but the league needs to come to its senses as well.

I agree with this sentiment 100%! We have been begging MLSE to do something to promote the team and this game, and they finally did! It is not MBT's fault that he attended this 'gathering' and was being reckless, the prevention of which is the intent of the rule. He was told to attend by his employer. If the league can't see past the 'letter of the law' in this case, I don't know what to say. Though it looks bad no matter what choice the league makes.

My brother brought up an excellent point regarding the consistencies of COVID protocol between leagues. Nazem Kadri attended a Raptors game on Tuesday night, and played the Leafs the next day. Why doesn't the NHL view this as a breach of protocol? Is it because they were playing in the same arena? What makes the NHL more aware of what is risky behaviour compared to the CFL?

I'm fully prepared for a game where Pipkin is the starter, but definitely won't be happy about it. Not pinning it on MBT fully since he was answering the call of the higher-ups. I was wondering how this would play into next season hypothetically as I can't remember his contract status. If someone at MLSE put him up to it, AND he has played his last game as an Argo, would the team have a lawsuit on their hands? Sunday's game is where he can prove he's a money quarterback, and if he's kept out, then what?
