A unique Saskatchewan approach to shunning

Alright, so Paul McCallum missed two fieldgoals last night, including an 18 yarder in overtime. But you've got to ask yourself, is dumping a load of crap on his front lawn really gonna help?



REGINA   -  Some unhappy football fans took their anger out on the home of Saskatchewan Roughrider Paul McCallum in Regina Sunday night.
The Rider kicker missed two field goals in Sunday's CFL West Division Final against the B.C. Lions in Vancouver, including an 18-yard attempt in overtime.



The Riders lost 27-25, sending the Lions to the Grey Cup game against the Toronto Argonauts in Ottawa next weekend.


   Staff Sgt. Ron Buddecke of the Regina Police Service says McCallum's wife called police after an excessive number of cars drove by their Regina home.


The house was later pelted with eggs and a load of manure was dumped off, along with notes directed at McCallum. Buddecke says other threats were also made against McCallum.


He says police know at least one of the individuals involved, and charges will be laid.


Via.

  1. Yes, that's the first thing I thought of as well. Finally, a hilarious case of life imitating art.
