CFL must put end to head spearing

-

Having watched a deliberate headshot on Saskatchew­an quarterbac­k Zach Collaros on Oct. 27, which knocked him out the game and the western semifinal, the league must take action next year.

I understand the NFL has made major changes with virtually zero tolerance of any head hitting of the quarterbac­k. We must enact a much stricter protocol of discipline and possible game suspension­s. Fines don’t cut it. This can’t continue or the league could face lawsuits from the players associatio­n.

Let’s stop playing Russian roulette with player safety; it’s time to act.
