Floyd

They are connected to a funeral and a wake... again length of exposure and proximity Stop trying to deflect- no one is 'attacking Hutterite colonies' but to deny that they are highest contributor to the western outbreak is ridiculous. How on earth can you claim that 10 of 18 cases over the whole province is not a vast majority? 20 of Manitoba 29 cases are linked to Hutterite-related travel to Alberta. https://winnipegsun.com/news/news-news/manitoba-announces-18-new-cases-outbreak-on-hutterite-colonies-linked-to-alberta-gathering And don't turn this into some bogus witch hunt against Hutterites... its a viable question especially on a forum that sits and judges 'covidiots' everyday... unless you're the right covidiot... We have rules and obviously are making exceptions for religious gatherings - that is the biggest danger right now. Covid is not casually spreading - it spreads at events or locations where again its close exposure over a longer amount of time (full day or two days).

Actually brilliant - because she knows the cops can’t do anything because arresting a vulnerable naked woman means they all lose their jobs...

As opposed to 18 yes I thought that was fairly clear

I guess I just don’t like the term covidiots - I was just in Manitoba and people are generally following the rules even if the rules are different everywhere i just find it interesting to see the judgement and panic about beaches and bars and cabins while the vast majority of the outbreak in the prairies is related to Hutterite colonies covid spreads through length of exposure and proximity... we’ve know this for months and just somehow ignore it

Hmm interesting - I wonder how a CFL wide community ownership scenario would look? If I’m the Liberals that’s how I’d structure it - bailout the community owned teams and wage subsidies for the private teams

ah yes the second wave bogeyman... always the answer when there is no answer

I thought it was each month - with the exchange rate that’s almost half a rookie CFL salary...

Visible minority? uh wha wha? my point is that all ‘the covidiots’ on corydon or on beaches have not caused an outbreak and maybe it is only a few people - same as the Manitoba colony you are included in those with a blanket condemnation of people ‘seemingly flaunting’ the rules... yet there are excuses when the colonies are responsible for the spike along those lines, maple creek was not just 2-3 people so cmon... it was their entire leadership - do anything you want but don’t go to Tim hortons and Walmart...

How is it 'raging' in Canada though? I've been in Manitoba, BC and Yukon and yes restrictions are fairly 'loosely' interpreted but there's no outbreaks... other than Hutterite colonies, meat packing plants, etc... We somehow now consider a handul of isolated cases as a 'disaster' about to overwhelm our health care system... it just so bizarre. Even in Quebec and Ontario, most cases are under 40 which is super low risk... and its still very very low numbers in relation to the general populace. My question is 'how many lives vs livelihoods' is in your equation... 1:1000? 1:100,000?

Always fun to take a shot at me... don't ever think you are more informed or intelligent than me. Devil's advocate is the path of the average man and you have conquered that path. It must just be your grammar.... Michael Jordan's kids have a hugely better chance at success than any white person in the poor parts of any town. BLM folks justify burning things down by saying they don't have those things, they'll never have those things, and therefore they shouldn't respect those things (I'm paraphrasing from a John Oliver clip). Guess what? I'm an old white guy from a middle class neighborhood, who got an education and a good job and I'll never have those things either, because they're owned by the top 10% of wage earners. Because, man, that is some clueless racist diatribe... your last sentence DEFINED systemic racism - both against minorities and against the poor Imagine that all I do for social justice is get upset about the name Eskimos if it helps you sleep at night... but clearly I don't have to do much for it to be more than what you're doing - other than just not patting myself on the back for being a white non-racist hard workin guy. I thought you'd stop digging your hole but instead you're now trying to kiss ass to other posters by throwing 'Floyd' under the bus... again - a sad and weak move I didn't expect from the old TBurg...

We will end up just treating covid like another flu - whether it is or not... said this from the start. Sports venues will just reduce capacity and jack ticket prices even more... maybe even make playoffs pay per view or something lke that...

So why are we calling corydon bar goers covidiots but not using that term of derision with the Hutterite colony outbreak? It’s clear that the colonies did not follow the rules and set us back... to be clear, I despise the term covidiots but I’m just wondering about this religious exemption...

We got your point that the CFL is shitty and doomed the first fifteen times you posted it...

He allowed Marcus Crandall to have five steamboats for the entire 2001 grey cup...

Still say the delay is CFL trying to push for an ‘eastern hub’ that is not Winnipeg... Winnipeg and sask were obvious choices from day one

When you look at the successful teams across the league, they are almost all community-owned... with the exception of Calgary which kind of 'won the lottery' with CSE

Sweet. Just two weeks ago I was a trump redneck who only cared about the economy... now I’m a social justice deadbeat...

It was easier back then the real life Eskimos had numbers too just like the football team - racism didn’t even exist... until the hippies invented it

The only conspiracy is that we think we’ll get an effective vaccine... https://www.bbc.com/news/health-53325771?at_custom2=facebook_page&at_campaign=64&at_custom1=[post+type]&at_custom3=BBC+News&at_custom4=CE7DA1B6-C9A0-11EA-B71B-D3BD923C408C&at_medium=custom7

Man, you've really slipped over the years... So, basic logic and market forces defeated your 'Eskimos doesn't bother me and I'm a regular non-racist white guy' argument... so now you're wallowing in the dirt and calling me a 'typical social justice warrior who does nothing'... classy. Just remember that I didn't give a flying effin eff about the name until I read how misguided your stance was - now you've twisted your argument that it was always only the 'cost of rebranding' that is the issue because it will kill the CFL... You're a shadow of the old TBurg, I must say...

I mean Addison and Acklin must be pumped that Banks just pulled the plug on his season... his departure adds 2-3 targets a game for each of them Open slot behind Williams as KR/PR Players would be crazy not to jump at a shortened season - what a small sacrifice to potentially end up with a $150-200k UFA payout in 2021 The only road block I see is this ridiculous season long quarantine - just get everyone to sign a waiver that they won't go to a hutterite colony...

You're either making your own breaks or you're settling for an average/below average life... I know which choice I'd make - always. I don't think $3000 USD a month is a 'pay cut' for most 'almost pro' football players... a chance to make a living playing football is ALWAYS better than sitting at home Maybe some have good jobs - but judging by the jobless stats for USA - there's a TON of talented players that don't. CFLPA as always knows it doesn't have a leg to stand on and as always the CFL knows this too. This is just CFLPA making noise before they sign.

You do realize that 'old merch' is 'sold at a loss' every... single... year. How much money is tied up every year in unuseable marketing related to vets who get cut, injured or traded... such as Matt Nichols Terry Jones says there's all these fans that will not renew their season tix because of the name change... but they won't buy all the Esks merch out of nostalgia... got it. Sure. We JUST rebranded the league in 2019 with New Era... this included new logos. And the MontreALS instead of Alouettes basically... you don't remember Edmonton basically changing their brand to 'Esks' not that long ago??? You always manage to find the negative spin on anything... and once again, you are missing the point on purpose. This is not a massive change like the RedSkins - this one is a slight adjustment. And in fact, its a huge marketing opportunity rather than a sadsack ledger entry... I'd be surprised if New Era or someone doesn't rebrand it 'pro bono' just to reap the marketing/goodwill. Its just too bad Esks had to wait until the Redskins did it - if anything, that cost them money.

If you are referring to the Terry Jones article in The Sun... that's pretty ridiculous. Try to find ONE image that actually relates to the term 'Eskimo' in Edmonton merch and marketing... there is NOTHING. It's all EE or just the word Eskimos - which is pretty easy to swap out Jones claims that season ticket holders will leave because they are loyal to the name... this is laughable. Like I said, we rebrand team jerseys and logos on a regular basis in the CFL - this is just another rebranding.

Considering we rebrand the jerseys and merch every 2-3 years anyway... I doubt changing the name will bankrupt the team
