>Thread Question
How many UFL players will get NFL camp invites?

>>149224252 (OP)
Jesus Christ just like this shit league and season end. No one needs another thread to hang around until the 2026 season.

CFL is business as usual.

>Winnipeg, BC, and Montreal on pace for good seasons.
>All other teams exist to get beaten by those three.
>Bo Levi Mitchell is now old and unremarkable in Hamilton
>XFL 2020's PJ Walker is now a backup for the Stampeders, but he'll never see the field if Vernon Adams Jr remains healthy.
>CFL shills for meme black QB Tre Ford in Edmonton and will post his meaningless scrambles during garbage time, despite them losing by 20.

Big news is Edmonton is about to be a talking point again as the new owner has removed all traces of Elks wordmark from their jerseys this season, and will likely re-rename the team back to Eskimos. Attendance is a serious problem here and the upper bowl of the stadium is closed indefinitely. Stadium seats 66,000, we are lucky to get 8k a game.

>>149224634
Elks merch was put on clearance in August of last year. There were hundreds if not thousands of of these unsold cups at each 7-Eleven in our city.

There hasn't been any indication when they'll formally announce a return to Eskimos but the writing is on the wall.

In other CFL news, some Toronto players are on a 90k/yr salary and can't afford rent, taking to Reddit to ask for help.

This tracks with what I've heard through the grapevine. One of the guys I played football with in HS briefly made the CFL as a DB/special teams guy (drafted in 2015, won a grey cup in 2019 with winnipeg while on IR). They do not live a life of luxury and it's more akin to going away to college while your parents occasionally send you money for treats.

>>149224365
UFL isn’t the only league gringo

>>149224941
It's the least stinky turd among the sea of turds.

>>149224849
Is Toronto that expensive? God damn.

>>149225013
The /pol/ memes about Canada being flooded with jeets is 100% true and Toronto is ground zero, which has driven up rent prices. Toronto used to be a genuine vacation destination in the early 2000's (think new york or chicago, but friendlier and very cheap to travel to), but has now devolved into ethnic slop and gang activity in its' suburbs as all the different minorities and castes clash over homeland nonsense and drug trading.

Here out west we're not immune to it either, it's just concentrated to specific neighbourhoods. Millwoods in Edmonton turned into brown town during my childhood. My ex used to refuse stripping gigs in northeast Calgary. We went to I think sunridge mall once for some claw game arcade and ended up getting followed around by a pajeet.

>>149225201
Holy shit.

>>149225234
It started around 2008-2010. Millwoods it was very easy to just ride your bike around and see like 5 cars parked in front of a house at all hours, or a distinct curry smell in the evenings. I went to a predominantly white elementary catholic school and by the time my friend's little brother got to elementary, it was predominantly brown. /pol/ is just finding out about this now but this has been a reality in canada for 15 years or so.

Tim Hortons are universally known here as Indian-only staff. There was a guy in February who tracked on a spreadsheet how often Tim Horton's screwed up his basic order of a black coffee and chocolate chip muffin because they couldn't understand hi. It came out to something obscene like 47%.

The news never covered it but a lot of these "whats happening" accounts on twitter/Insta ran it, not realizing the very obvious racial undertones lol

DAS RITE

Even if I never stepped foot on /pol/ for a second, I would have been radicalized regardless just from working retail in my teens, and leaving the house to run errands once in a while.

Here in Edmonton, almost every storefront and every cashier you encounter is either some shade of brown, or an old woman. It feels like the same five NPC's have been copy-pasted everywhere.

If you follow the EPS facebook page (which you should, just to be informed about road closures and such), it's a constant stream of "ugly indian man with unpronounceable name is wanted for X and Y crimes, do not approach in person."

Anyways back to shitty football leagues but yes this is why a Toronto lineman says he can't afford rent while playing professional sports.

Dinos lost but my boy Ballinas got engaged, props to him

Why’d they change the name to the Elks in the first place?

>>149225628
extremely based
Go Dinos

Didn’t a couple of kickers (Blankenship and Mevis) get tryout invitations from the Jets and Giants?

>>149227327
Because sponsors threatened to pull. Have a friend up north who works marketing. Says they planned to go back to eskimos since it looked like the political tides were blowing the other way. That didn't happen and now they're stuck with the re-rebrand

I decided to give the UFL a shot. I never went to one of their live games. So, i went to the championship game. When i was in the stands I sat behind these rednecks and they kept talking about how the medic girl had a big tits. He said "i wouldn't mind if she checked out my cock" and then he said that "N-gger Jordan Ta ama can throw and fun fast." he would be a good slave

I asked him to stop being racist and sexist. He turned around and said
"shut up queer" and all the UFL fans laughed.

I just walked away, i didn't even watch cool halftime show from the black moods. I was sick to my stomach

I will never support this ignorant racist sexist league

fuck the ufl i'm sticking with the NFL aka real football

>>149227650
>I just walked away, i didn't even watch cool halftime show from the black moods. I was sick to my stomach

lmao

Something interesting to think about for the UFL. Is the best coach the one that wins the most or the one that prepares his guys to get an NFL gig the best? In the Championship game we saw two college style RPO heavy offenses that played to their QB's strengths, in the CCG's though we saw those offenses go up against more traditional west coast style offenses that translate better to the NFL. Obviously Holtz and Becht lost, and lost bad, but are they doing better in preparing their QB's and WR's to go up a level or should their focus be on "Win no matter what"?

>>149227327
>>149227633
Close.

>Covid happened and companies hemorrhaged money
>Needed an excuse to get out of non-essential contracts
>CFL sponsorship? Non-essential.
>Contract was air-tight.
>Claimed team name "Eskimos" was racist
>Claim being associated with team named Eskimo's was causing PR issues and needed an imminent name-change
>This strong-armed Eskimos into renaming themselves the Elks because the CFL was hemorrhaging money as well.
>Company still left anyways

The company that made a big stink about it to the point it made national headlines here, no longer is involved with the team and the name change was now all for nothing. All it did was piss off the few people who were still going to CFL games and now Edmonton has serious attendance problems.

>>149229965
they should have rebranded as the redskins

>>149224252 (OP)
LFA standings

Seeds one thru 3 are defined Osos (2) Will recieve Caudillos (3), Mexicas are the first seed, number 4 Is still to be defined, mathemeatically everyone BUT Reyes could be 4th seed.

Arcangeles Is the most likely, if they win against osos next weekend or they loose but also Dinos And Raptors then they are in

Gallos need to Best raptors, Dinos winning and Arcangeles loosong for over 26 points

Raptors need to beat gallos and for both dinos and Arcangeles to loose

Dinos need to win, raptors to win and Arcangeles to loose

>>149232040
How many weeks long is the LFA season?

>>149229965
Was that team garbage for a long time as well? Something like a 20 game losing streak at home?

Also this Is the tazón México trophy

>>149236783
cj johnson is gonna to try to replicate this by signing dj uiagalelei which will lead to a guaranteed 0-10 season

>>149237156
they did that on purpose there is no way

>>149235252
I chose mine because well spain Is closer to México than germany, austria and all those other countries, also the fact they chose to keep the name in their language and something culturally relevant to spain Is cool, More ELF teams should go that way, just because its an American sport dosent mean you have to do It all in english and with a Sort of wannabe-american feel to it

>>149236711
>Most viewed game Week 9 D.C @ HOU 1.35 mil
why was a meaningless game the most viewed game?

>>149237675
This, the only decent names are bravos (obvious reasons), Musketeers (obnvious reasons), Mercenaries (as in the swiss mercs), Surge and Fire (due to the industry in the area) and Lions (coat of arms of both Bohemia and Czech republic)

>Musketeers and Mercs have the best names

>>149236732
It took 3 seasons but the cucks have their shorthand derogatory name

>>149239541
I still like calling them the combatchickens.

>>149238444
ah, that makes sense

Ill bump the thread with LFA stuff to keep It alive

If Arcángeles manage to win tazón México kyohei Kokaji would become the first player to become champion in both LFA and X league he previouslly played for the Fujitsu Frontiers and Obic seagills and it's part of Japans national team

First UFL to NFL signings of the season

>>149248295
Who signed Corbin?

>>149248710
Falcons

>>149248295
So when this happens, does the UFL get anything?

>>149252814
I Guess exposure

>>149252814
No, they essentially release them from their contracts with a bit saying "If you come back you'll still be assigned to the same team" I believe. The best thing they can get is proof to other players that it's a viable thing. What would be nicer is if it got to the point where it was a fallback rather than a hail mary, like a richer CFL.

>>149253687
>No, they essentially release them from their contracts
Why? Maybe I'm retarded, but I don't see why the UFL should just let it's talent be poached for nothing

>>149253790
The way I see it is they gain nothing by trying to keep these guys, not at this point at least. None of them are so good that the NFL will buy them out, they're camp invites, end of roster guys at best. So if they try to hold on to them they'll just piss the players off because it's keeping them away from a potentially massive payday for little to no gain.

>>149253790
if they start acting stupid and not releasing players to be able to pursue an NFL career then no player will want to play for the UFL, or what do you mean should the NFL pay them or something?, is that shit even legal? this may be melanin enhanced fellows we talking about but you cant just buy and sell them, i dont think the league trying to claim a cut just because the dude plays at the time with them is something that can be done

They're making them thicker in new york these days

>>149248295
Broncos, Falcons, Jets have signed UFL guys

new official UFL >>> NFL graphic this year

>Elven schedule for week 6

I'm seeing more than a few booty blastings

They don't. Helvetic, Cologne, and Fehervar don't play each other this year.

Dem gaydes getting guys signed

>>149248295
There's gonna be like 80 of these and maybe 4 won't be back in the UFL or retired next year.

>>149269836
