The Saskatchewan Roughriders received the highest marks in the CFL Players' Association's first-ever team report cards, highlighting positive workplace conditions and setting a standard for the league.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders earned the highest marks in the CFL Players' Association's inaugural team report card s. Saskatchewan received two 'A' grades and five 'B' grades across the eight categories in the union's 58-question survey, which was sent to members in October. A total of 495 players participated. Teams were evaluated on football operations, management and administration, training and medical staff, equipment, family treatment, nutrition and diet, team travel, and training camp.
The Riders received an 'A' for both football operations and management and 'B' grades in all but diet and nutrition ('D-minus'). The survey included multiple-choice, rating, and open-ended questions in each category. Scores were averaged, with grades incorporating various aspects of workplace conditions, including the quality of team facilities and services offered. Only two failing grades were given, both to the Edmonton Elks. They earned an 'F' in nutrition and diet and training camp. The CFLPA collaborated with Dr. Desmond McEwen, an assistant professor in sport psychology at the University of British Columbia. 'The CFLPA report card initiative is about empowering our players and elevating the standards across the league,' CFLPA president Solomon Elimimian said. 'By sharing their honest feedback, the players are driving positive change and fostering a better environment for everyone involved in Canadian football.' The union said the goals of the initiative were to highlight teams setting positive examples and identify areas where improvements are needed. 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
