Why is that? Because the media and Winnipeg's PR department fucked up? Or is it because the CFL only employs a handful of felons while the NFL employs them by the dozens?
Will you transfer your disdain to the NFL when Michael Vick takes the field? or when another NFL franchise takes a chance on "Pacman"?
The NFL eventually gets rid of their criminals for good. There are so much second & third chances you can grant a convicted felon. The CFL welcomes them with open arms. Example: Lawrence Phillips.
Yes, the NFL isn't perfect & it has put up with a bunch of rejects more than enough. But a new sheriff (Roger Goodell) arrived on the scene last year & he's a no nonsense commissioner, which the NFL needed once & for all. Worse league for felons: the NBA.
p.s. I applaud the Bombers for changing their mind in regards to Pacman Jones.
