How soon will the pre-season CFL matches be canceled?

Dave Naylor has the latter for a quiet day that did not consist of any talks between the CBA and the CFL Players’ Association. As pre-season matches are set to begin next week, Naylor believes they could be canceled over the next few days if no progress is made.

DAVE NAYLOR: Monday was another quiet day in the Canadian Football League. On the second day of the CFL strike, expect Alberta everywhere, where Edmonton Elks and Calgary Stampeders could train again. These teams have the right to join the strike on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the players were in their training camps, they couldn’t use the gym, they couldn’t use the equipment, they just waited to be able to train. Meanwhile, there were no talks between representatives of the league and the Players’ Association on Monday, and no talks are scheduled for the rest of the week. Although it is possible for a mediator to try to unite the parties. The question we are now wondering is: how much time is left until the league has to cancel or reschedule the first pre-season match of the year? This is next Monday, May 23 – Winnipeg in Saskatchewan. It is estimated that if there is no agreement between the two sides by Wednesday this week, this match will have to be canceled or postponed. “
