Bombers, Riders fans clash over ‘Regina-style’ pizza in Labour Day Classic trash talk
The Saskatchewan Roughriders will meet the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Mosaic Stadium on Sunday. Ahead of the game, Riders and Bombers fans are duking it out over Regina-style pizza.
Amidst the annual trash talk between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Saskatchewan Roughriders, the Bombers have stirred up controversy with their statement about Regina-style pizza. In a social media post on Tuesday, the Bombers reiterated their long-standing opinion that Regina-style pizza is "terrible," even worse than they initially thought.
Regina-style pizza is known for its square slices and excessive toppings, which are then covered in cheese and served on a thick crust. Regina resident and Riders fan Marina Rubina, who posted a video in response to the Bombers' comment, expressed anger and shock at the statement. She concluded that she still couldn't find a reason to visit Winnipeg for the city's pizza, despite spending 14 minutes researching.
Winnipeg fans, however, found the Bombers' post "hilarious" and emphasized the humor and rivalry that comes with such trash talk. With the Labour Day Classic set to commence at Mosaic Stadium, fans on both sides look forward to a spirited matchup on Sunday evening.
