So how long does the organization allow Jones to run this team out of business? Arguably one of the proudest, most stable (often league saving) franchises in CFL history and it has come to this! I'm a staunch CFL defender and fan and have been a staunch Edmonton fan all my life. But I honestly don't blame people for not showing up! It is not fun going to a home game where you know that you don't have a hope in hell to win a game and then to feel like crap after your team had embarrassed themselves, their city and their fans. We need a major shake up here. Because soon the team will have to pay fans to come! I guess with those guaranteed win tickets, they're almost doing that now!!!
They had 32,000 the 1st game this season. The Elks have now lost 19 home games in a row. Any fan base would eventually stay away if they suffered the same.
@@squirelly6175I agree, the emotionally fragile fans who can't handle a name change should stay away. Ottawa went through a couple of name changes and even won a Grey Cup with the name Redblacks.
@@backalleycqc4790 I'm not even an Edmonton Eskimos/Elks fan. I'm a Sask Riders fan. But it still pisses me off that they destroyed the heritage of this great franchise. I'm old enough to remember Warren Moon when he first came into the league. He was overlooked by the NFL because he was black but was given a chance to show his talent in the CFL. Eventually he ended up in the NFL and was one of the greatest. That's what the CFL represents.... it's the furthest thing from racism and that's why it upsets me. It has nothing to do with me being fragile. The fragile people are the ones who complained about the name in the first place.
@@squirelly6175 Seriously, the emotionally fragile fans are the ones staying away because of the name change. Management made the decision to change the name for whatever reason and that's that. I've been an Ottawa fan since '76, I've lived through a few name changes, the team won a Grey Cup using Redblacks. The Edmonton team is still the same team, regardless of the name change, if you think otherwise you're emotionally fragile.
Great camera work avoiding the stands! Whoever was manning the camera must have worked for the Soviet government excising and editing news. Has the team shared their usual bogus "official" crowd numbers?
I'm VERY surprised at just how bad Edmonton has been. While I do not object to EE losses, I don't see this as a positive thing for the league. You don't draw fans when you play like this.
I agree..there is a cow Elk or a Bull Elk..or a herd of Elk...But Elks???? and what's with the lobster claws down the seams LOL(i know their supposed to be antlers) LOL
I've been watching this club since I was 5 years old ,I still support this franchise wherever I'm at and could we stick this word woke up the ass of anyone that explains their view with it,because I just turned 60 and am now a member of the do you remember Ron Estey club for 55 years.

Even though Edmonton lost, that final play was crazy!
I am impressed with the rebranding of the Toronto Argos.
You mean the dudes in the powder blue unis?
@@grahammcfadyenhill9555 yes
Love that Runningback of our's big day 3 TD's 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
The Argos looked cohesive & confident & balanced while Edmonton looked youthful & inconsistent.
Their special teams needs to tighten up though. The Elks torched the Argos on returns. It should have been a blowout.
Shame about the lack of fans. That looked like a hell of an entertaining game.
I was there it was entertaining at half, after that not so much.
Commonwealth is just too big to fill up

Damn, it’s going good
Exciting game. Sad that Edmonton had so few fans at the game.
They had 32,000 the 1st game this season. The Elks have now lost 19 home games in a row. Any fan base would eventually stay away if they suffered the same.
It's not sad.... it's a good thing. The fans should boycott the games and demand they change the name back.

2:14 "Oh my GAWD" 😂
Ouellette is a beast

Go Argos Go!

It's also a bad idea to piss off half the fan base by yielding to stupid woke marxist ideology.
They do stay away in droves.
@@grahammcfadyenhill9555 big time
Everyone is feasting on Elk Burgers 🍔
Unfortunately Edmonton is young and seem really dependent on CJ Sims returning kicks
Omg😂. No fans
not winning a home game for 4 years straight will do that
@@nutsack320 I wonder how many fans are still upset about the name change?
largest stadium in the league looks PACKED lol
I liked how they filled it with empty green seats. Classy.
Greenbay vs titans lol
How many dreamers actually thought home team would win? Put down your crack pipes.
Elks will never win at home again because of their WOKE THINKING OF CHANGING THEIR NAME . ESKIMOS’s of old have CURSED the team 👍👌😱
Losing streak started before the name change snowflake.

Let's be honest here! Edmonton Eskimos is the pride name of the North Eh!!!!❤
