You know, not saying they should or shouldn’t receive help, but the brain dead JT has wasted and spent millions, billions of $$$ with a lot of self serving donations that benefit who???
@JJWD_78
When you are counting on sources of revenue (ticket sales and gate) and it’s taken away the CFL is going to suffer. Any business will suffer when revenue stops. Sports and entertainment are no different than any other business who are asking for help right now.
