Exactly this. I've never once thought of it as derogatory or as a slur of any kind. It's a lot different then say the "N" word where you were taught it was a racial word and not to use it. I'm also not opposed to change. But change it if the Inuit want it changed and not as a political stunt or because someone who is non inuit and has nothing to do with the name is whining about it.

I think the only way around all of this is to just go back to calling every team their city/province/state name lol. British Columbia British Columbians Calgary Calgarians Edmonton Edmontons Saskatchewan Saskatchewans Winnipeg Winnipegs Toronto Torontarians Montreal Montrealers Ottawa Ottawas Hamilton Hamiltons Then no one can complain

Didnt Vince Leah nickname the Bombers after Joe Louis and the Brown Bomber?
-
Maybe in 2020. But when the majority of these teams were named it was a different time. I just dont see a point in changing something that's been around for 50+ years.

I've been on this planet just under 40 years and not once in my life have I found the words Chiefs, Indians, Eskimoes, Redskins etc racist. Not one bit. To me it's simply a word or a name of a team. I dont see what has changed. If you are calling somone that name to their face and using it as a racial slur, to me that's different.

Darian Durant Ok I'll see myself out...
-
Yeah but since they dont fine teams for going over the cap they can give him whatever he wants. And since its Montreal the other 8 teams will end up floating the bill anyways.

Illegal formation....too many men...winnipeg....10 yard penalty. Repeat 3rd down -
Well Sask can just use all those "spare" houses they have for hiding players. They will be fine.
-
Wow. Unless we pick an OL last we may go without one. Cray!
-
And then they pick a DL
-
With that much confidence they might as well skip the draft this year. Why waste all this time on players they dont need.
-
Has anyone seen any images of what the GC rings will look like? I believe Calgary got their rings in May last year so we should see them soon! Dying to see what they look like!

Will he ever go away?

I can see it now. Bombers win the 2020 Grey Cup but due to an 8 game season Rider fans dub it another astrix Grey Cup win.
-
Noticed that as well. The global one is correct the Canada one is not. Unless this thing is predicting the future
-
Wondering how they were going to fit everyone under the cap this year. If they dont win it in 2020 (if there is a season) they may be set back several years with all of this restructuring.

Way to ruin my parade 🤣 Fine.... longest in current history
-
Or we would be the longest regining Grey Cup Champs in History...... 12+ straight months lol

Looks like Strev but with a better arm. Early to say hes the next best thing but kid looks like he can play. -
Too be fair to Booch. He didnt say which Monday the announcement would be made.....
-
They also think if they had a healthy Fajardo they win the GC...
-
I liked hearing Irving on 680 this morning. Said it like it is. West will be tough. Calgary is always a tough team. Said Sask has a good team. BC will be better and Edmonton is in the mix. Bombers have a good chance to repeat but its not going to be easy! Cant argue with that.
-
We know full well that they have Lapo and he wont be passing the ball anyways. He will be lining up 7 RBs.

According to Rider fans. O'day will restock the Canadian depth via the draft this year. A quick look at the draft has them drafting 7,30,35,44,53,62 and 71. With only a handful of OL in the top of the draft they may not even get a chance to draft an OL or at least a decent one. Yes it's only Feb and things can change but looking pretty bleak at the moment.
