The '''Elyria Athletics''' were an [[American football]] team based in [[Elyria, Ohio]]. They played in the [[Ohio League]] until 1919, and then became an independent team. The team won the 1912 Ohio League championship, with an upset win over [[Peggy Parratt]]'s [[Akron Pros|Akron Indians]].<ref>PFRA Research (n.d.), p. 3</ref><br />
<br />
However, the team declined to join the American Professional Football Association, later known as the [[National Football League]], in 1920. Still the Athletics did continue to play APFA teams, including a Thanksgiving game against the [[Columbus Panhandles]]. The team folded after the 1920 season.<br />
