Gainer the Gopher has been banned from attending the upcoming playoff game between Saskatchewan, and Calgary in Calgary. I can understand why Stampeder brass would want to keep him out, he would rally the thousands of Saskatchewan fans attending the game and make it more difficult for the Stamps to concentrate and win. Gainer should still travel to Calgary and demonstrate outside the stadium though.

I looked up Gainer the Gopher on Wikipedia, and there was no entry, so I decided to start one. You can check it out here.
here is the Calgary Sun article about the ban of Gainer.
