According to CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie, such pre-game hostilities are inappropriate, and the use of a helmet as a weapon is extremely dangerous. Neither is acceptable.
Eli Mencer, an Argo’s defensive lineman, was also given a one-game suspension for using foul language at a referee during the same game. The final score was 30-24 in favour of the Argos.
