The Canadian Football League Players' Association (CFLPA) has issued its inaugural team report cards, grading eight different categories of workplace conditions for CFL franchises. Saskatchewan received two 'A' grades and five 'B' grades, while the Edmonton Elks were the only teams to receive failing grades.
Saskatchewan received two “A” and five “B” grades in the eight categories provided in the union’s 58-question survey, which was distributed to members in October. A total of 495 players participated.
Only two failing grades were given, both to the Edmonton Elks. They earned an “F” in nutrition and diet as well as training camp.The CFLPA collaborated with Dr. Desmond McEwen, an assistant professor in sport psychology at the University of British Columbia. The CFLPA is following in the footsteps of the NFL Players’ Association, which released its first team report cards in 2023. The NFLPA also provides letter grades for such categories as teams’ locker rooms, training facilities, weight rooms, food/cafeteria, treatment of families as well as training and strength-and-conditioning staffs.
“On game day there is a small room provided for families,” a player told the survey. “However it is tucked away with no amenities or even TVs to watch the game.”
