I’m telling you, for somebody that never had to worry about media — I came from a small school, dude — it’s the first time I ever had to look at that,” Dukes said. “I’m getting death threats. I’m getting people talking about hanging my parents. I’m getting this in the box (sic), and guess what? I still got the screenshots, baby.

What is wrong with people? Death threats? And he played well here. Imagine if he lost those games, denying the team a shot at the Grey Cup game they eventually won. It was clear early on he had a ceiling to his game, but he played within himself and won games that mattered. Not sure what people expected. It's a game. People need to grab the reins.

Without Dukes the Argonauts don’t win their latest World Championship, by all accounts a great teammate and person.
Some people take things way too seriously, this type of thing definitely crosses the line.
Unfortunately a sad commentary of the times we live in.

Unfortunately you can’t fix stupid!

It's football. Teams go up and down all the time. If you are crazy enough to lob death threats at athletes, football is the last sport you should be watching.

There's a lot of people especially here in Toronto who are toxic towards the ARGO's and the CFL. I can't imagine a fan of the team would do this but Social media and the internet has its short comings.... Cameron seemed like a good guy so this is very disappointing to hear.

I somehow doubt this was one of the local CFL haters out there, though.

your right.... is very disheartening to hear about this ... who ever did this...

Should he die for his inability to throw more than 25 yards downfield? NO. Sustain serious injury? PROBABLY NOT. Get serious stomach flu? I can get behind that.

One time I had a really bad stomach flu that, due to the timing of it, left me unable to eat the boneless rib sub from Mr. Sub ever again.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Complete A-hole(s) who did this (if true). I don’t agree with Dukes taking offence to criticism of his game though. Guy doesn’t have a pro arm, no matter how you slice it. The assessment that he’s not sustainable is bang on. You can’t be a starter without the ability to thread something downfield. Those throws come in crunch time and he doesn’t have any of them.
