CFL Proposal
The Canadian Football League has sent a proposal to the Players’ Association calling for the 2021 season to commence as scheduled in June.
The proposal would see players taking a 20 per cent pay cut that would apply if there were no fans allowed into stadiums.
Salaries would escalate over the course of the season as fans possibly return to stands.
The CFL’s return to play protocol needs to be approved by provincial governments and health units.
WFT
The Washington Football Team name is being considered as a permanent label.
Team President Jason Wright said fans have warmed to the name.
