You may have heard of the butterfly effect which states that a butterfly flapping its wings across the world can help set off a storm if you aren’t careful.
For the Riders, this past week was an intentional affirmation of the butterfly effect starting at the beginning of the week when the Riders moved their two public practices inside to the Cooperator’s Center because of air quality concerns from the fires in northern Saskatchewan and the smoke heading south.
While this was a prudent move in the interests of player safety, there was a problem with that that did not become apparent until the Riders were on the field against Hamilton Saturday night.
