Ottawa Redblacks quarterback Jeremiah Masoli has spoken out following Friday’s game in which he was severely injured by Roughriders defensive lineman Garrett Marino, accusing the league of turning a blind eye to racism. ottnews
“It’s sad that the hate and racist attitudes and racial insults are going to be punished with a slap on the wrist,” he said. “One game for racial insults is simply not enough in my opinion and hopefully, we can use this to promote growth and change for the better.”
But Masoli added that he’s experienced racism before in the league and said the CFL should be no place for racism and hate. “After playing 12 games already with a previous ejection and two fines before this incident, it is clear Garrett Marino cannot control himself. The welfare and safety of CFL players do matter and we should not have to worry about those who consistently cannot play within the rules.”
