Murray Wood: Who's hot... and who's not
Every Friday, Murray Wood takes a look back at the week's news and decides who's hot... and who's not. This week's list ...
After five days of backtracking, sucking up and public relations manoeuvres designed to cover up a CFL mistake, Karen Kuldys still isn’t a millionaire.
Nor should she be.
Kuldys entered a free contest and had a chance to win a million bucks if two kickoffs were returned for touchdowns during an Argos-Bombers game. Just before the second returner ran into the end zone, an on-field called a questionable penalty; it negated the touchdown.
In the aftermath, virtually everyone demanded that Karen get rewarded anyway. Why? That’s sports. The Argonauts would like a consolation prize, too, maybe an extra point in the standings. Maybe the Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Indians want another opportunity. Aren’t your lottery numbers close enough to earn you a consolation prize?
She still receives a $25,000 sound system and has also been given 500,000 Air Miles, a year’s supply of groceries, Bombers season tickets and VIP treatment at the Grey Cup. That’s even more of an injustice: somebody getting rewarded for a bad penalty call.
