Gilroy supported the motion to restore the
Melville Millionaires as the
1915 Allan Cup champions, and noted many of the team members had died in World War I.
Hi Flibirigit, There's a sentence I don't understand in the lede of
EA Gilroy. As you've written all of the article, I thought it would be easiest to ask about it here. The sentence is "On the eve of the Olympics, Gilroy chose to allow the two players to participate as a gesture of sportsmanship towards Great Britain, and objected to Canada being portrayed as in protest." What is meant by the 'and objected to Canada being portrayed as in protest' part?
