I guess elks is technically correct as a plural form, but it sounds very awkward.

Basically they tackle by saying "pardon me" and the ball is actually a bag of milk.

3 downs instead of 4 is the main thing. Slightly larger field, and I think our receivers can get a running start to the line of scrimmage?

Only 3 downs and a bigger ball. Plus its 110 yard field.

Otherwise the same but with less talent and generally way better championship games.

Letterkenny jokes aside, I like it too and the name is totally fine, I'm just shocked that they made it to 2021 with the previous name still in place

Edmonton Elk > Edmonton Elks

The plural of Elk is Elk. What the fuck, Edmonton. Lay off the huff.

well, i guess there are two plurals of Elk: Elk and Elks. Depends on regional dialect + the actual amount of Elk(s) being referred to.

Originally I loved it when I first heard of it. But I was thinking it was based on reason and common sense and the team name was Elk

elks is just wrong and more offensive than Eskimo could ever be.

Now I hate it.

"More offensive than Eskimos"? No, not even close, that's a ridiculous statement.

"Elks" as a team name is no more grammatically wrong than "Maple Leafs" is.

You missed a lot of differences. Off the top of my head:

  • 12 players per team instead of 11 in the US
  • Wider field than in the US
  • Deeper endzones than in the US.
  • Different placement of the goal
  • Return kicks are allowed
  • Single point / rouge as a scoring play
  • Running starts for wideouts are allowed
  • Entirely different rules regarding the timing of the game with game clocks and play clocks
