I think the players do deserve more but that doesn't mean the owners are the bad guys. Without owners willing to lose money each season, some of these players wouldn't be playing. If Argos, TiCats had folded that means at least 100 players would be unemployed today and who knows how many throughout the years.
Some may argue against this and I get why some enjoy it but negotiations would be run a lot more smoother if twitter was out of the equation. Yes we get news on the spot but some of the players tweets kind of bother me, it looks they are going after Cohon's head. I give credit to those who have an account and just keep things "professional" by not saying anything.
At the end of the day, a sport shouldn't define a career. I have always seen playing in the CFL more of a hobby by choice then a profession and makes the CFL more special to me then the glitz and glamour of the NFL. Paris Jackson said "you don't play in the CFL for the money". I could play football in Sweden for $10 a game, doesn't mean I have to. I do agree with former Rider Scott Shultz, "Players need incrs pay
#NoQuestion but lets be realistic & not so short sided - no CFL = big wakeup call
#PartyOver #BetterGetta9to5"
