Argos Are Anti Rob Ford




Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has garnered more criticism Thursday, this time from the very team he was hoping to support.
Ford - while wearing a Toronto Argonauts jersey - responded to allegations of having associated with prostitutes in front of the media on Thursday. His remarks concluded with an off-colour remark in regards to his lack of need to associate with prostitutes, intended to demonstrate the strength of his marriage.
The Argonauts have issued a statement in return, criticizing the mayor's comments, leadership and recent conduct, especially Thursday's remarks while wear team's colours.
"It's well-known that the Mayor is a big fan and supporter of the game of football," an official statement read. "The Toronto Argonauts organization is not in a position to comment on the manner of dress of public officials."
"The situation with respect to the Mayor and his leadership is unseemly at best," the statement continued. "These latest remarks, while wearing our team's jersey, are particularly disappointing given our organization's work in the community to help youth deal with issues of bullying prevention. We hope for the benefit of the wonderful citizens of Toronto and this great city that this situation is resolved expeditiously."
Ford's decision to wear an Argos jersey was meant as an act of civic pride ahead of the team hosting their provincial rival Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the CFL East Division Final on Sunday. He even went as far to mention that one of his top orders of business Thursday was to call Hamilton Mayor Bob Bratina ahead of the match-up.
However, his headline-grabbing comments about his marriage almost immediately followed his Argos boasts.

So sad to see the picture of Rob Ford's wife standing beside him today with her eyes closed. Looked like an episode of the TV show "The Good Wife". A new low for Ford Nation.

I think of the "King of the Hill" line Hank once said to his kid--
"--just when I think you've said the dumbest thing I've ever heard you open your mouth again!!"

BTW when you heard Ford's final line (no pun intended) regarding Mrs.Ford didn't you think it was a unintentional Zinger at her?
I hope he has an Argo snuggie for his time on the couch.
