Mayor, former players react to Saskatchewan Roughriders’ financial outlook
There was plenty of reaction to the news about how COVID-19 could affect the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The CFL team announced Wednesday that, in the worst-case scenario of no games being played in 2020, it could face a loss of $10 million.
The Roughriders said they face a $30-million loss in revenue and a $20-million decrease in expenses if there isn’t a 2020 season.
CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie has approached the federal government about financial assistance for the league, but it’s not clear if that will happen.
