Things happen so fast in real time and with this hit it looked like it was a hit to the head, which it was, but not because of what Adeleke did or didn't do. He played it exactly the way you want, go in with your shoulder to the chest...unfortunately Roosevelt ducked his head at the last possible second which led to his being knocked out before he even hit the ground. This stuff is going to happen in contact sports for as long as they are ever played. Either be OK with it or stop watching it. It will always have this element until they start playing flag football instead of tackle, or they outlaw any contact in hockey.
Also reading this thread the day after is hilarious. Messam is no longer a 2 down back apparently, yet he leads the entire CFL in rushing yards and rushing TD's. Dave Dickenson is a terrible play caller, yet as a HC he is 26-3-2. Something there tells me that maybe he knows pretty well what he is doing?
I guess when a team has only lost 3 of their last 31 regular season games, some people have to find something to bitch about?
