From
where I sit it looks like both the CFL and the CFLPA need to work on
their timing...
Why is the latest CBA discussion starting against baseball's opening day? The new President of the CFLPA is
talking seriously about refusing to play, but not many others are
talking about it because the focus is on baseball. Out
of most of the professional sports, CFL players are underpaid. Yes,
they are still getting a lot of money, but no where near what their
contemporaries in the NFL receive. So, in that aspect I agree,
the CFLers should get an appropriate piece of the pie. The players
say they won’t play under the current CBA. There are plenty of questions to ask
about what happens next. However, who's bright idea was it to make
all that public on Opening Day of MLB? They couldn't even sit on it
until mid-week? Apparently not. Naturally, the
league came back with a muted reaction, but that still overlooks the
horrible timing. Even in CFL crazy cities, this was anything but
front page news. I'm well aware that this is all merely posturing
and may amount to nothing. But posturing is done for attention, and
if nobody is looking what's the point?
At
least that's how I see it...and I sit in the cheap seats.
