Sask. Roughriders practice cancelled as CFL players begin strike

The Saskatchewan Roughriders training camp was supposed to get underway at Griffiths Stadium on Sunday morning, but the Riders announced that their first practice was cancelled.

The CFL and players' association were unable to agree on a new collective bargaining agreement.

The union has directed players from seven of the CFL's nine teams to participate in a work stoppage beginning at 12:01 a.m. ET on Sunday.

This is the first strike in the CFL since 1974.
