It's just about being ready when things do get settled. Players for the Bombers & Riders especially want to be ready as there is still a pre-season game scheduled in a week. If that doesn't get cancelled, they'll have an even shorter window to prepare.
May 16, 20223 yr comment_565316 So does this indicate that the sides are close to a resolution if the players are getting ready to play? And if a player gets hurt during an unsanctioned practice with no CBA in place, would they lose any possible medical coverage (which seems to be a big issue from the PA standpoint)?

Players practice year-round, so I doubts it's an issue to the PA. They're here and they're getting into game shape. Players seemed concerned with padded practices, not practices in general.
May 16, 20223 yr Author comment_565332 and more than "concerned about padded practice", they're concerned with health insurance/coverage.....
May 16, 20223 yr comment_565333 Pads sh'mads. Lots of injuries don't care if you're padded or not. Achilles, Knees, torn muscles etc. The players are taking a pretty big risk practising without coverage.

May 18, 20223 yr comment_565468 Apparently they have until the end of today before Monday is officially canceled
May 18, 20223 yr comment_565469 Imagine if this entire strike was just so the Bomber players could defer going to SSK

I like Lalji's suggestion about pushing it to Friday.

May 19, 20223 yr comment_565643 I hope they're practicing at the stadium tomorrow. I might go watch for a while and check out the store.

Was in Winnipeg last week stopped at the store and picked up a few things $400 later. Didn’t have my all black W hat in stock. Said it might be in this week. As I have no money left if it’s there can you pick me up one and one of the rider fans who frequent here will sell their sister wife to pay you back? Sorry reflex.

Oh I hope they're back. I had one a few years ago and loved it. I'm going to get a new jersey soon and will likely buy another hat cause....why not
