Montreal Alouettes owner Gary Stern has decided to step down from his role as CEO of the organization and quit his position on the board of governors of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
This was learned by the TSN network on Monday.

Stern, who owns 25% of the club, bought the team with his father-in-law, Sid Spiegel, in January 2019. The latter died just over a year ago. His shares of the Alouettes, the remaining 75%, are under the control of his estate.
It would appear that Stern received little cooperation from this estate when it came to the “Als”. The Ontario businessman would however intend to remain a minority owner of the Montreal formation, but that he would no longer get involved with it in the public square.
This is surprising, considering Stern’s behavior in recent months. He was particularly active on Twitter and interacted a lot with fans on the social network. On Monday, his account had been deactivated.
