The meta answer, which has two words, may be found in both the U.S. and Canada.
Apparently there was some sort of sportsball thing yesterday? I find these things very confusing! Anyway, here's a puzzle. (Published on Muggle Meta Mondays.)

I figured out FANS, then it took me a few tries to get the other word, although it was staring me right in the face. Nice metanism.
Thanks! I see the path now!! :)... I agree with Hector on the EMO/BLUES because that's how I originally mapped the E... once I saw that comment, I knew to look for CARDINALS instead and got the actual alt team names...
Here thanks to a fun group solve - found JETS easily enough, but would never ever have gotten to FANS on my own. Kudos to rjy for finding the missing step!

Very cool metanism and execution, Adam! Opposite of DIS, I got JETS first and took a bit to get to FANS. Actually, I started with "JETJ", getting hung up with LA Clippers matching with the 1A clue.

I needed help with the two-point conversion. Very clever. Thanks, Adam.
Needed clarification, too, because I found two ways to get one needed letter.

Figured out JETS, but needed a bit of a push to find the other half. Clever mechanism. Thanks for the puzzle, Adam.
The four teams that were chosen to occur as alternate answers to clues (PANTHERS, CARDINALS, RANGERS, KINGS) are also each the names of other teams in other leagues: Florida, Arizona, NY, Sacramento.

Ah, very clever! Sadly my limited knowledge of US sports made that a step too far. But I had heard of both Winnipeg and NY Jets at least! Thanks for the puzzle Adam!

That was a struggle, but worth it in the end. Thanks for the nudges.
