I personally think it has more to do with the fact that they're playing BC this week. He's being all holier-than-thou about "accepting his punishment" but if it was Calgary they were playing, I'm wondering if he doesn't appeal...

Do you think it should matter if contact was made if a player swings a helmet at another player with intent? Edited September 24, 20195 yr by Deiter Fan

I’m curious why he would be able to see enough to call a penalty but conveniently not see the helmet being swung.  Did the ref stop watching half way and assume it was done?  I have extensive experience reffing hockey and I can speak from my experience that a ref doesn’t usually miss this unless he was afraid to make a call that would set a team back as badly as this would have.Â

September 24, 20195 yr comment_428549 CFL Headlines Head CFL official admits referees erred by failing to eject Vernon Adams Jr.: The CFL’s director of officiating admitted Vernon Adams Jr. should have been tossed from the game for his helmet swing at Adam Bighill. “It’s a miss. Although it can’t be confirmed, through any source, there was mention of allowing the games the Bombers play, to be two 1st halves played consecutively. No 2nd halves involved. I really do forget who mentioned it.
September 25, 20195 yr comment_428563 Derek Taylor (on 620 radio in Regina) was just going off on the CFL today for not throwing Adams out. He said absolutely the Bombers would have won if the right call was made. He interviewed Arash Madani who agreed and said the CFL needs to be held accountable. Taylor further commented that if the tables were turned and Bighill had hit Adams with his helmet "he would have been suspended for the entire year!"

Something like, "The Canadian Football League recognizes that mistakes were made from the on field officials to the Eye In The Sky.

September 25, 20195 yr comment_428582 Adams isn't appealing it because the games could get more crucial as season wanes. Get it out of the way asap.

Also... this franchise has been struggling the last several years, and we need to ensure they are doing well and increasing attendance, so a winning record is paramount.  Oops, we didn't say that out loud, did we!?
