According to the CFL, Marino has also been suspended for an additional game due to comments he made about Masoli’s heritage during the game. That celebration also played a role in the suspension. All three incidents happened in Friday’s 28-13 win over the Ottawa Redblacks.

He did go low, which is a penalty and if you hurt the guy, you’re going to get fined for it. Marino was also suspended one game for hitting Redblacks’ offensive lineman Dino Boyd from behind, which he did in retaliation of Boyd’s late hit on Riders’ defensive end Pete Robertson from the previous series. At the same time, I think it’s a serious offence and something we take very seriously in-house,” said Dickenson. Marino was handed a two-game suspension for his illegal hit on the Ottawa Redblacks’ quarterback that will force him to miss the next ten-to-twelve weeks due to injury. “I don’t believe he tried to hurt the quarterback. I attempted to defend his character amid accusations that he said something racially or culturally insensitive by pointing out that he has many close friends who are black and a long-term girlfriend who is also black.

Marino was ejected from the game following his hit on Masoli. The Ottawa quarterback had to be carted off the field and was later ruled out for 10-12 weeks due to bone surgery on his leg. In handing out the suspensions the league cited Marino’s past discipline record as he has already recorded a previous ejection and two fines in 12 CFL career games. The three separate suspensions include a two-game suspension for Marino’s hit on Ottawa quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, a one-game suspension for a verbal comment about Masoli's heritage, and an illegal tackle on a previous play in the game.

He received a one-game suspension for verbal comments made about Masoli's heritage during the game, which violates the CFL's Code of Conduct. And he received another one-game suspension for his illegal and reckless tackle of an Ottawa offensive lineman on a previous play. Marino received a two-game suspension for a dangerous and reckless low hit on Ottawa quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, which resulted in serious injury and Marino's ejection from the game, and for Marino's subsequent celebration of the hit. Defensive lineman Garrett Marino of the Saskatchewan Roughriders has been hit hard with three separate suspensions from the Canadian Football League, along with a stern message from commissioner Randy Ambrosie.

Saskatchewan Roughriders defensive lineman Garrett Marino has been suspended four games for his in-game behaviour Friday against the Ottawa Redblacks.

On Monday afternoon the Redblacks acquired quarterback Nick Arbuckle from the Edmonton Elks for a 2023 fourth-round draft pick. I leave the league and the commissioner and all those guys to do that. Marino then celebrated the hit, leading to a confrontation between the two teams.

"In the CFL we say our diversity is our strength, so there should be no place for the racial hate." "The welfare and safety of the CFL players do matter and we should not have to worry about those who consistently cannot play within the rules," Masoli continued. The Redblacks quarterback is set to undergo a bone-based surgical procedure because of the hit and is expected to miss 10-12 weeks.

It is never a good look. When he was released by Montreal, Ottawa immediately snapped him up for 2018. Head coach Craig Dickenson, as decent a person as exists in the league, managed to exacerbate the mess by diminishing Marino’s comments about Masoli’s heritage. The league has now dealt with him as harshly as it deemed fit, perhaps mindful of landing on a number that would not necessarily provoke an immediate appeal by the CFL Players Association on Marino’s behalf. For the Riders. For the league.

Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach Craig Dickenson feels "a message had to be sent" to suspended defensive lineman Garrett Marino.

“One game for racist insults is simply not enough in my opinion and hopefully we can use this to promote growth and change for the better. With that in mind, the Regina Leader-Post has created an Afternoon Headlines newsletter that can be delivered daily to your inbox to help make sure you are up to date with the most vital news of the day. “The CFL has done and continues to do great work with communities of all backgrounds across Canada which is something we are proud of. “It’s been investigated and confirmed by the CFL and should not be tolerated — on or off the field. “The welfare and safety of CFL players (does) matter and we should not have to worry about those who consistently cannot play within the rules. In the CFL we say our diversity is our strength, so there should be no place for the racial hate. I’ll let the player talk to the (CFL Players’ Association) and decide if he wants to appeal that part of the suspension. I know how much he has grown in the last year.” “I think for what he did on the field, it’s a little harsh. We support him if he accepts it, but that one is a tough one.” It’s a sad deal and hopefully it never happens again.” “It’s just a sad deal for everybody.

Ottawa Redblacks quarterback Jeremiah Masoli believes the suspension handed to Saskatchewan Roughriders defensive lineman Garrett Marino was a slap on the ...

"It’s sad that the hate and racist attitudes and racial insults are going to be punished with a slap on the wrist," Masoli explained. Especially this season, being asked to kind of lead the charge in the strike, so it’ll be interesting to see how all this plays out.” I learned a lot from my time being around him, so for something as dirty as that to happen and for him to miss games I think is ridiculous and embarrassing for the league,” Collaros told reporters after practice on Tuesday. We support him if he wants to do it and we support him if he wants to accept it. We need to protect the integrity of the game." "The welfare and safety of CFL players do matter and we should not have to worry about those who consistently cannot play within the rules.

Et il a reçu une autre suspension d’un match pour son plaqué illégal et imprudent à l’endroit d’un joueur de ligne offensive du Rouge et Noir, lors d’un jeu précédent.
