Ed Hervey's comments regarding Eskimos lineman Simeon Rottier last week has drawn the attention of the CFL Players' Association, who are asking the league to discpline Edmonton's general manager.

In a statement released on Monday, CFLPA President Mike Morreale deemed the Hervey's criticism of Rottier to be "both inappropriate, and contrary to the Collective Bargaining Agreement."

"The Collective Bargaining Agreement clearly prohibits Clubs and their employees from publicly criticizing the on field performance of any Player in the CFL," said Morreale. "The purpose of this provision is to ensure that all CFL Players, as well as all CFL personnel, are dealt with in a manner that is respectful and professional, and the CFLPA will not tolerate anything less in the treatment of one of its Players."

"Given how quick the league is to respond and punish CFL Players for remarks it deems inappropriate, it is troubling that the CFL has made no public announcement of any action that has been taken in this matter," Morreale continued.

"The CFLPA expects the league to announce what disciplinary action has been taken against Mr. Hervey to ensure that this behaviour is not repeated in Edmonton or with any other CFL Club."
