Winnipeg mayor wants Edmonton Eskimos to change name to a more inclusive one
Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman thinks the CFL Edmonton Eskimos should change their team name.
“I think there’s an opportunity to have a more inclusive name,” he said. “That’s ultimately a decision for the team, though.”
Bowman, who is Metis, said he respects the Edmonton CFL organization but would prefer a different name.
The Eskimos said in a statement that it uses the name with “pride and respect.”
