Replace the word pansies with nig*ers. That's basically what you just wrote except your target group was gay people instead of Black people. You may not be a bigot but that's how you come across when you use words like that. It's not ok.

Are we seriously at a point now that the word “pansie” is considered a homophobic term, and therefore considered politically incorrect?!

Yes we are, but thankfully the backlash against the overkill of political correctness is just beginning to ramp up.

thankfully he didn't use the 3 letter f word at least, pansy is the traditional way of referring to gay men. Judging from the above posts, the CFL fan base is still a generation or two out from being inclusive & open to LGBTQ viewers.

When is the CFL going to get serious about player safety? When there are no QBs left to play? They obviously don't give a crap, judging from the Odell Willis incident and I doubt Jeffcoat will see any discipline either. It reflects VERY badly on the league and definitely hurts minor football as far as recruiting is concerned.

Aside from that, the Bombers are def for real. They beat the leagues best defence and I don't see anyone beating them the rest of the way.

CFL players systematically taking out QBs from one team is definitely one effective way to eliminate a team from the playoffs/GreyCup. Even the CFL commissioner admitted the indiscretion on the part of the league itself...

Commissioner Randy Ambrosie admitted Monday the CFL dropped the ball regarding how it handled defensive lineman Odell Willis's helmet-to-helmet hit on quarterback Zach Collaros on Saturday.

Going to be interesting!

Also nice to see the UofC Dinos keeping up the Calgary choke tradition yesterday!

University of Saskatchewan Huskies winning Hardy Cup against the Calgary Dinos last Saturday does reflect on how strong provincial football is back home.

Next up the Canadian Bowl in Saskatoon this coming weekend. If the Hilltops win, Saskatchewan will have won the last 9 out of 10 National Titles.

Apparently you missed this:

^^ too bad CFL fans can't learn from this...

t-shirts & ball caps worn by some doesn't make up for bigoted comments of others.

'don't be such a c*** sucker'

hey I was wearing a t-shirt so it's ok

Lucky the head hit on Bridge wasn't a penalty, it might have helped the Riders a bit.

Anyway, I think the Bombers match up well against the Stamps. Looking forward to see who BLM throws under the bus this year.

I don't mind at all. But I think even Reinebold could have managed a playoff win had he been given 5 years to pull it off

I do agree that the Bombers match up well against Calgary, though. Calgary is better on paper but I'd take the hot team against the badly slumping one.

Pansie doesn't automatically refer to somebody being gay, it often is referred to people who are weak, which judging by the OP's comment was most likely what his was about. You two need to stop being pansies and chill.

As far as the comment on the CFL fanbase being still a generation out from being inclusive, speak for yourself and your fanbase not others. After all it's the Rider fanbase that's known as the most backward, hillbilly of all the fanbases.

How would one even quantify this?

[Acajack]

Never heard of pansy being homophobic. Thought it was synonymous with wimp or weakling. Are those homophobic too?

That is my interpretation also. Hope that doesn’t make me homophobic. I’ll have to ask my gay friends what their take is.

ORRRR, some CFL fans simply did not know that “pansy” was a homophobic term, rather simply just thought it is synonymous for weak, or wimp.

Don’t be so damn quick to judge.

Jeez (can I say jeez?) I take one afternoon off from the forum to watch some football and this place turned into an intro to social movements class.

As far as the hit to the head on Bridge, I was waiting for the ref to come on and say "the video referee as called a major foul...." but that obviously never happened. Everybody watching in the stands and at home knew it was a penalty so I really don't understand why one wasn't called by the ref in the stands, that position should really be the ultimate security blanket for the CFL on missed calls.

It's not the same thing as the N word. If he was implying that pansies are gay people (and I don't think he was) then it's not right, but I've heard pansies reference many things. Mostly I seen it used to represent wimpy ,non-competitive

I think Calgary's better on paper without the injuries. As it stands now, it's a toss up on paper, but the Bombers are the hot team right now. Which is why I'm picking them to win.

Pansy just means someone who is soft and weak, not specifically gay.

[Xelebes]

"Pansy" is a delicate flower. It was often directed at women, who could take it as a compliment or an insult based on context, and effeminate men who most of the time took it as an insult and sometimes a threat.

Let's go Bombers Let's go!

Let's go Ti-Cats Let's go!

Yes don't ya know? If you infer that someone is anything other than something absolutely positive and wonderful you are in fact being homophobic
