Argos QB Kelly accused of harassment in wrongful dismissal lawsuit

[Dr. Lecter]

A former Toronto Argonauts strength and conditioning coach has filed a wrongful dismissal lawsuit against the Canadian Football League team and quarterback Chad Kelly, alleging the league's highest-paid player and reigning Most Outstanding Player harassed her and that the team fired her after she rejected his advances.

The coach, who worked for the Argos from 2018 until January 2024, filed the lawsuit on Feb. 21 in Ontario Superior Court in Toronto. TSN does not publish the names of alleged victims of abuse and harassment without their permission.

She is suing the 29-year-old Kelly for $50,000 for alleged violations of the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Argos for $85,714, claiming wrongful dismissal.

Just a drunk who can’t lead his team by example off the field and especially in preparation for the big playoff games.

Like his uncle.

I didn't think you could sue a fellow employee in Canada.

Also, I read that article. This lady made 25,000 a year. She's suing for over 3 x her salary.

This entire thing reeks

Someone called Tyrod a thug? Why?

Look, Tyrod is not a starting QB in this league. He's the quintessential backup. He'll get you 240 yards and 2-3 TD's between passing and rushing without turning the ball over, and give your other stars a chance to win it. But he's not going to take over a game and throw for 300 yards and 4 TD's.

That doesn't make him a thug. At any given time, there are maybe 20-25 people on the entire planet who truly deserve to be NFL starting QB's. Tyrod has never been in any kind of trouble and his teammates always seem to like him. How exactly is he a thug?

Do you really need to ask that question?

I mean - I thought you were smarter than this.

Yeah, I guess I kind of live in a bubble. Even the more conservative people in my life are past the "black guy = thug" mentality so sometimes I forget that the mentality still exists and is more widespread than anyone wants to admit.

That's the one good thing about Trump. I think a lot of people got a false sense of security about progress on racism in this country when Obama won two terms. Trump forced us to see just how far we still have to go regarding race. Unfortunately, he did it by exploiting and fueling racism rather than fighting it but at least now we know where we stand.

Not to derail this thread even more,

But I'd take Tyrod as Bills' backup QB over almost all the back ups in the league.

Wagoncircler did when he was named a starter


the reason was an unsubstantiated report that tyrod got a grill after he was named starter
it ended up being False and wagoncircler used that report to refer to him as that


meanwhile, he was always defending Chad Kelly, even when getting arrested saying ‘I know him and his family. They are friends of mine. He’s a good kid’
kind of thing

Ah ok, so a black guy is a “thug” because it was falsely reported that he made a purchase to celebrate reaching the highest echelon of his profession, but a white guy who consistently gets in alcohol-related trouble is a “good kid.”

He’s not even trying to hide his racism.

And even if the grill thing were true, who cares? He’s a millionaire. It’s not how I’d spend the money if it were mine but it’s a free country.

Yeah it reeks and there is a lot of fault on the part of the organization if advances were made because they are the ones who mixed it all up with firing her ass so there would be hell to pay in US law. Basically, here, the issue of her competence to perform her job becomes immaterial to her firing if there is a vast misappropriation of power in the relationship. There are consequences of trying to get the trim from the hired help.
