They are banned for a year? Wow. I don't understand, why are the Leafs rewarding this kind of behavior?

I didn't even know the Argos still had season ticket holders...

Ummm...wow. This guy is either really stupid (he is an Argos season ticket holder) or a leading contender for Canada's biggest douche.

Robert Heath, an Argos season ticket holder, said during a July 5, 2014, game, he saw a poster advertising the team's support of the White Ribbon Campaign, which promotes awareness of domestic violence.

Heath said he complained to the team that the campaign sexually discriminates against men, and portrays men as villains.

What's an Argo? The movie? Why would somebody buy season tickets to a movie that's already out on Blu-Ray?

Not sure of the logical fallacy the guy is employing here, but just because the Argos support a program to promote awareness of violence against women doesn't mean that they are in favo(u)r of violence against men. The whole cancelling of his season tickets will likely come down to a "he said, she said" and will be tough to prove. Looks like Mr. Heath is receiving his 15 minutes of fame, though.

He's also apparently completely unaware that the WRC was founded by men to show their opposition to domestic violence against women. So it's not this stereotypical group of women sitting around screaming about how much they hate men.

I get that not everyone knows that, but if you're going to file a human rights complaint, a quick Google could probably answer that for you.

he shoulda filed a human rights complaint against the CFL for making the Argos play on turf

That'd be such a bitch move.

I put this in the All Star thread. But probably fits here too. That laugh you hear off camera is Kessel, allegedly.

But I thought Randy was the problem??

Seriously, I don't think Horachek will ever coach a team again after this. I can only imagine how much regret he must have at taking this job.

On the plus side, the Leafs are on pace to get a pretty darn good player in the 2015 entry draft...

It's sad that I have more excitement for this team now that they're sucking balls than I ever did when they were in the playoff mix either this season or the last.

They need to find a way into the bottom three. They absolutely need to get their hands on one of the centres at the top of this year's draft. It is so damn important that they do so.
