I have other reasons for not liking new cfl rule changes, but fear of Americanization is not among them.
However, for those with such fears, here is what we should do
Go the other direction.
No punting
No safeties
5 yards for first down
Fields goals worth 5 pts and only count if they hit the post.
Keep a modified rouge
TDs only count if the whole player and ball land in the endzone.
Oline are eligible receivers
No kicking converts
No kickoffs, receiving team starts at own 25
Well at one time back in the day a Touchdown was only worth 5pts.
None of that fake nacho cheeseâŚ
Something like arena football. Scores are in the 50s
Yes and they didnât have the forward pass. I wonder how many people said they would never watch the CFL again after those changes.
Suggest that at half time we have the starting defense play offense and offense play defense to finish the game. Change is always better without exception.
Maybe use a square ball
With these changes youâd also get:
No fans
No TV contract
No sponsors
No interest
No league.
but but, at least we would not be americanized
Couldnât watch as it wasnât on tv lol
How can you have a square ball lol?
its doable
Whole lotta people channeling EZ here
I love those ideas. That kickoff they have in the NFL is ridiculous.
To unamercanize the CFL? only allow Canadian players? see how long it would last. The Americans invented the forward pass in 1909, Canada didnât adopt it until the 1930s, we could go back to the way it was Rugby football, no throwing the ball forward.
I have to admit, it looks real fâŚ. stupid. But hey, if it protects concussions and at the end of it all itâs about long passes and touchdowns and who cares about the kicking game and all that, ok, eh? Then âstupidâ optics work. I guess. The NFL rules the roost and no matter what, they control gridron, what they do âmattersâ, for gridiron, what the CFL does âdoesnât matterâ as we see here many CFL fans just gag over how great NFL receivers are and they love the timing rules, two feet in boounds, how more athletic NFL players are compared with CFL players are etc. and this coming from very, very influential posters on this site here, extremely influential posters here, very âI guessâ âextremelyâ CFL fans. âŚâŚ.hmmmmâŚ. I wonât go further on this of course with a three letter word on what I mean by influential postersâŚ.. Ok, time to go to my phoney time, oops, my bad, have to check my phone, my bad, sorry.
Over and out.
Well the Grey Cup used to be on Thanksgiving (USA) weekend, and it had become a bit of a tradition for me to watch it. So moving it up a few weeks hosed us CFL fans in the States pretty good.
well, ya all just have to move up your thanksgiving 
I am sure Trump would help with that
