Winnipeg Blue Bombers players and coaches sat in front of their big screens on Monday and watched the CFL take a new direction.
The turn made at least one of them feel sick to the stomach.
“When I heard the news watching the press conference, I just had a really weird feeling in my gut when they announced it,” special teams coordinator Mike Miller said, Tuesday. “Just a little sickening. I didn’t expect it. Just felt it in my stomach… like I ate something bad.”
CFL commissioner Stewart Johnson and the nine team governors are force-feeding players, coaches and fans changes that erase some of the unique aspects of the Canadian game.
Shortening the field from 110 yards to 100 and moving the goal posts to the back of end zones make the game look more American.
