The fact that Rider fans boo'd the ejection and cheered his clown show celebration was embarressing.
I'd say if Marino is still a member of the Riders after this week, that teams should deliberately try to run up the score on them.
That was embarrassing to the Riders, and the CFL.

I was at the game. I am not defending what the player did, i hope he is disciplined by both league and Roughriders. These are just my observations from being at the game.
Those at the game would not have seen any replay on the big screen. It was a passing play so most would missed any late hit and and not known what he had done, specially the section that the cheers were coming from as he walked out of the playing field as it was the opposite end of the field to the play from where the line of scrimmage was.
At the time from my perspective I seen a missed pass and a flag. The player flexed his arms walking to the sideline and Redblacks were mad and they were running toward Riders side of field. I did not know he hit the qb late at that time. Then the penalty was roughing passer with a disqualification. After that ruling i was thinking. "Why was he celebrating roughing up Mosoli? Makes no sense" Around me people were asking what happened. Nobody knew exactly, we just knew someone hit the qb late but wouldn't know how late or if it was dirty or not.
I drive from Saskatoon (2.5h drive) so listened to the post game call in show. Most call ins were about that play. Most people who called in who watched on TSN said the Moreno play was embarassing. Those at the game never commented much on it cause they did not see what happened. I didn't see the replay till the next day but knew it wasn't good as that's what the focus of the post game was.
