A sad farewell to the CFL as I've known and loved it! 😢

The league is shortening the field from 110 yards to 100, shortening the end zone from 20 yards to 15 and moving the goalposts to the back of the end zone. It’s also changing the play clock and modifying the rouge single point.

5. Damn. I've never been a big fan of Canadian football, but I loved the interesting little ways in which it

differed from American football. Sameness is so boring...

[Floyd R. Turbo]

6. Yep!😢

7. How soon before they go to 4 downs to get 10 yards UGH!

I have really come to enjoy the different style of football Canada plays.

Dammit - don't change

9. Then 11 per side.🤬

8. I was never a fan of Canadian football

So I have no opinion one way or the other.
But I abhor the Americanization of NHL rules. The two line pass should be a whistle. And a face off in the offending teams end . To anyone suggesting that the elimination of the the two line pass rule facilitates scoring, never watched Gretzky and/or Lemieux play...

... displaced by light emitting diodes.

13. M'Eh

I watch CFL games on CBS SportsNet.
I don't think these changes are that consequential.
The field is still wider, still 3 downs, still multiple players in motion including players moving forward at the snap.
The endzone is still longer than American Football.
And, they are moving the goal posts back for the same reason as the NFL. Encourages going for touchdowns & the safety factor.
