SIMMONS: Suspended Argos QB Chad Kelly's future in CFL very much up in the air

For just a moment in time, however brief, however fleeting, Chad Kelly wasn’t just the face of the Toronto Argonauts but in reality he was the face of the Canadian Football League. And now a question beyond the allegations and the investigation: Are the Argos finished with Kelly as their quarterback or are they willing to work with him, for them, to try and bring him back to the Double Blue? This is a troublesome and disconcerting place in today’s world where second chances have become more than rare for sporting figures, and it’s too early to know whether the Argos, the league, the rest of the CFL, along with the historically proper Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment company, owners of the club, will want any part of Kelly after the suspension by CFL commissioner, Randy Ambrosie. “Mr Kelly’s suspension is the direct result of his behaviour,” said commissioner Ambrosie, also indicated that the investigation found Kelly’s behaviour had “unequivocally violated” CFL policy on gender-based violence.
