CFL finally set to resume playing football. MORE:
Commissioner Randy Ambrosie and the CFL are finally back in the football business.
"It's been a long and, at times, tough road," Ambrosie said."I'd say it has been the toughest stretch of my career, but I feel like I've learned a lot and I actually feel like I've grown a lot as well. Not playing in 2020 came at a significant cost to the CFL. A source has said the league lost between $60 million and $80 million last year by not staging games.
Edmonton's Jamie Elizondo and Toronto's Ryan Dinwiddie both make their CFL head-coaching debuts this week. In either scenario, if a team can prove at least 85 per cent of its players under contract have been vaccinated, at least once, the players will receive their salary for the cancelled game. If that figure falls below 85 per cent, players won't be paid.
