New rules / commissioner's statements

[VictorRomano]

I thought you had to be at least 18 to place a bet?

Prepaid credit cards for teens are a thing.  Nobody is looking up your credit card data to see if the cardholder is of age.  You're supposed to be an adult to buy beer, too, but I see kids all the time that have been drinking.

Laws and rules only limit those who follow them.

Should have made the field 100 meters if they wanted to change it. More Canadian, still 110 yards.

Bingo!  I'm all over that.  If they want the change and to prove it's not to "Amercianize", then switch to 100M, or my 90Y idea, or anything other than NFL-matching 100Y.

The rah-rah-changes people haven't answered yet...

They sure showed him! Stewart's obviously doing something right.

Goodell - Booed everywhere he goes (18 years on the job)
Bettman - Booed everywhere he goes (32 years on the job)
Silver - Booed everywhere he goes (11 years on the job)

Where you there?  I've never heard such sustained booing of any commish in my 12 years of uber-fandom.

I was at the '19, '22, '23, '24, '25 cups.  I can tell you that at every other one there was a mix of boos & cheers for the commish, with most people being silent (a lot like what fans do to the head ref announcement).  And those combined boos/cheers were
a) 10X quieter than the boos for Johnston, and
b) only a few seconds in duration vs the BOOING THE ENTIRE TIME JOHNSTON WAS SPEAKING.

I was actually very proud to see the level of hate the attendees at PAS were showing.  And at that time it was probably over 50% Rider fans, so extra kudos to them for knowing the real deal and letting Johnston know.  If your 2 biggest markets (us and the greenies) hate your changes even more than the CFL average, you're doing something wrong.

When I watched that part on TV it looked like he was going to cry a bit.  I don't think even he expected that level of disdain.  I hope it only gets worse for him until they cancel the 55YL change.
