I'm thankful for the CFL as an entertaining game with moderate yet quality media coverage (thanks TSN and QR770) and the only pro league i enjoying following without feeling the shame of paying into wealthy pockets.

Because we are talking about a league with a salary cap that doesn't disclose salaries. How messed up is that? Hard to take a league seriously when it's a mystery what players get paid. Don't get me started about team hiring coaches off other teams when they are still under contract. That doesn't happen in any other sport or the real world where contracts are binding. Even Mitchell's mystery fine should be fully disclosed. Was it $250 or $5000? I guess in the eyes of the CFL fans don't need to know if the fine is legit or not.
Duran Carter got a one game suspension over a month ago and still hasn't served it. What's the reason for such a long appeal for a pretty straightforward incident where he contacts a coach? Probably waiting to suspend him to a game of the Alouette's liking.
It's 2016 and the league needs to be transparent or it's simply never going to be taken seriously.
