Toronto, ON - The Toronto Argonauts have reportedly fined wide receiver Arland Bruce III over comments he made Sunday accusing CFL referees of being racist.
Bruce's comments came after the Argos' loss to Montreal on Sunday in the East Division final.
'The CFL firmly rejects the notion that racism or illegal activity has any presence within our game,' the league said in a statement Monday. 'The league is currently investigating the remarks and will determine appropriate action at the conclusion of such investigation. Until such time, the league will not be offering further comments.'
Bruce was the league's second-leading receiver this season with 77 catches for 1,370 yards and 11 touchdowns.
