  • CFL Seeks to Combat Violence Against Women with New League Initiative
    CFL seeks to combat violence against women with new league initiative BY THE CANADIAN PRESS (HTTP://WWW.CITYNEWS.CA/AUTHOR/THE-CANADIAN-PRESS) POSTED AUG 7, 2015 11:54 AM EDT NATIONAL (HTTP://WWW.CITYNEWS.CA/CATEGORY/NATIONAL/) SPORTS (HTTP://WWW.CITYNEWS.CA/CATEGORY/SPORTS/) Calgary Stampeders defensive back Keon Raymond celebrates his teams win against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats during the 102nd Grey Cup in Vancouver, B.C., Nov. 30, 2014. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette Players and employees of the CFL will undergo yearly mandatory training on violence against women as part of a new league initiative. The CFL unveiled its policy on violence against women in Vancouver on Thursday, with an emphasis on preventing violence from occurring in the frst place and acting quickly when it does happen. “It’s clear that the CFL condemns violence against women in all of its forms — domestic violence, sexual assault, verbal abuse and the disrespectful and damaging attitudes that can form the foundation of violence itself,” CFL commissioner Jefrey Orridge said on a conference call. “We all need to do our part to combat it.” Orridge said the league has the authority to impose sanctions on players or employees who violate the new league policy but he did not elaborate on the exact nature of the punishments, saying they will happen on a case-by-case basis. The policy was developed in partnership with the Ending Violence Association of Canada, and Orridge said the league consulted extensively with experts in the feld of responding to violence against women. “This policy is acknowledging that violence against women is happening at an epidemic level across our country,” said Tracy Porteous, executive director of the Ending Violence Association of B.C.
