Much of the Twitter “beef” between CFL teams has a contrived feel to it these days but today’s little spat between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Ottawa Redblacks felt real enough.
It started when a fan asked for some dating advice…
The Redblacks responded quickly and took a shot at the Bombers’ Grey Cup drought, which is the longest current streak in the league. This did not sit well with the Bombers, who fired back – hard.
That elicited a bunch of replies from fans accusing the Bombers of being a touch too salty and still out of sorts after the Darian Durant retirement debacle…

For their part, the Redblacks continued to rub salt in the wound…
And of course the Riders joined in…
Anyway, cooler heads eventual prevailed, everyone eventually claimed it was all in good fun and everyone reverted to their usual milquetoast responses.
