  1. Is the CFL going to do that next ? It will cave to the outrage mob cause we dont want to hurt there feelings. So sad .

    1. This country is $815 billion in debt with an annual deficit of $342 billion whilst in the middle of record job losses and business failures and the BIG news is the how the name of a football team might offend the snowflakes ?

  2. Right, Lord forbid that the CFL offends the 3 or 4 Inuit that watch football.
    2020…it’s like a nightmare that you can’t wake up from.

  3. Leave the eskimos alone! The name is NOT meant as a racist slur nor has it ever been! I highly doubt that there’s any Canadian or American Eskimos out there who really are offended by it! I would hope they would take as a sign of respect more than as any type of racial slur!
