The headlines write themselves!
We literally do nothing. Just perch and observe.
Bumonton and World Class Dump emerge in the dog days of the offseason with no hockey being played?
Edmonton is really and truly No Good.
It just finds new and different ways to announce it, 365 days a year.

Leos look to make history in Edmonton
The BC Lions are on a mission to write their names in the history books tonight as they face the Edmonton Elks.
The Elks are currently 0-7 this season and have not won a home game since 2019, a losing streak that has spanned 20 games and tied the record for most consecutive home losses in North American major sports.
With a win today, the Lions would extend Edmonton's streak to 21 and help their West Division foes set a new record that the Elks certainly want no part of.

Elks is technically ok, but when referring to one group of elk, it should be just elk.
The problem is it looks and sounds stupid and doesn't flow off the tongue at all. That every one feels prompted to go and look up the correct term is not a great indication that its working for you.
In summary, Edmonton is really and truly No Good.

It is like saying deers, mooses, or caribous. Someone says it is okay, but anyone who actually speaks English knows that is not how we talk.

The problem is the team name. They need to change the name.
Drop "Edmonton" from the team name.

Agreed.
Instead: “Bumonton Bums”. (Or “Bum”, as a group thereof.)

One more loss and they're halfway to the immaculate season.

I'm shocked the Fraternal Order of Elks has not sued the Edmonton football team (strong word) for doing irreparable damage to their reputation as an organization. Just the name association must drive membership opportunities into toilet.

Which is why it’s a perfect fit for Bumonton because that’s how they do talk up there eh.

Bumonton Bums would even work for their logo. This double Es (EE) can easily become double Bs (BB)...just round off those Es.
