I have been going to football games for uh, 46 years, and I have to admit I have never had an experience like I did at the Labor Day Classic on Sunday.
I go to Rider games with a guy I work with, James Kennedy, who is from the Carry the Kettle First Nation. The CFL has been trying to expand its appeal to First Nations and brought in the orange practice jersey to honor residential school survivors who wore orange uniforms when they were taken away from their families and were forced to try to learn a new way of life and thinking.
I got Kennedy an orange jersey last year and got one for myself because as many know, I collect jerseys and I like to wear them when I do scenario acting at the RCMP Training Depot because they hide weapons really well and it gives me a chance to promote the CFL for kids who are more into the NFL or NHL.
