 Edmonton Eskimos must change offensive name, Inuit leader says "If I was called an Eskimo or introduced as an Eskimo by anyone else, I would be offended," says Natan Obed, president of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami. "It is something that was acceptable at one time but now just isn�t."Commentsview comments in forum You need to be a member of CKA and be logged into the site, to comment on news. |

Nothing but whine whine whine, night and day. You offend me, that offends me, everything offends me. FFS when are people going to grow the fuck up and realise that everything in the world wasn't put there to personally insult them, their heritage, religion, morals, ethics, ethnicity and ego.
It's like living with 35 million 12 year olds.
Oh right, Eskimos. I thought Edmonton was the offensive part.
Zing

Besides, we're not calling the Inuit Eskimos, that's the team's name... shouldn't they be the ones offended?
This doesn't go far enough, what about Toronto? The Maple Leafs? Now that's improper English, it should be the Toronto Maple . Like OMG, right? With English being my first and only language I am offended. Like OMG, right? It's time people leaned to write properly.
I've always pronounced the name of that hockey team the "Make Believes"

Why such disparaging remarks against my team? I'll have you know that Toronto is the richest team in the NHL, that mean come playoffs your team will probably end up caddying for my team. In fact my team are so disciplined that their mantra is "practice make perfect" hence why the Maple leafs produce some of the best golfers in the NHL!

No they're not, didn't you hear that they fell to number 3? Right after the Rangers and the Habs.
