Instead, the CFL was caught flat-footed and forced to issue a statement on Wednesday , talking up its on-field “working-class heroes” – none of whom, it turns out, had been consulted on the league’s request to government.
The league wouldn’t say: It has refused all of my requests for interviews since Wednesday, and those questions seem not to have come up in any of the interviews Ambrosie has granted.
