Everyone in the NSFL has been talking about the new series entitled "Football Wives", but this talk has been for better or worse.
Yellowknife Wraiths receiver Bailey Cook and his girlfriend Caroline were going to be featured on the show, but Cook decided to protest its production. He released a statement regarding his reasons for the protest:
"I am protesting the upcoming show because of its lack of cultural awareness and its general air of insensitivity. I know that some members of the NSFL are part of the LGBT community and there are also a few female players as well. I don't like the use of the blanket term "wives" and the implications it has on the community. If the story was centered around simply relationships of the players that would be one thing, but lumping it all into one category just doesn't fly in today's world."
After his statement, Cook also alluded to the fact that some members of the Philadelphia Liberty share the same sentiments and were likely to start a boycott as well. He spoke to his close friend A.C. Hackett about the production as well, and he agreed that it was insensitive and a false representation of the community.
