A CFL spokesperson said the league is aware of the incident and is reviewing it.”

Hamilton topped Toronto 27-19 to advance. Instead of celebrating, their fans acted in a very disrespectful manner. Fortunately, things didn’t get too out of control.

Time will tell whether action is taken against any of the Toronto players involved. There’s no word on if any arrests were made. The usually polite Canadian fans have proven that they can get rowdy just as much as an NFL crowd.
