The Edmonton Eskimos are experiencing a backlash on social media after the team rebuffed renewed calls to drop a name critics say is racist.“We recognize that there has been increased attention to the name recently and we will ramp up our engagement with the Inuit communities to assess their views,” the CFL team’s official Twitter account posted.As of Saturday afternoon, the post had nearly 1,000 replies, almost 1,000 retweets and more than 1,200 likes.Many of the replies simply read, “Change your name.”User Lois Lowe wrote, “Just change the name and be part of the solution, not the problem.

I’m an Edmonton football fan no matter the name on the jersey (back or front).”Some users indicated they’re fine with the name not changing, and others offered alternative names like the Edmonton Elks or Energy or Empire.The discussion about the Eskimos name comes amid renewed pressure on the Washington Redskins to change its name.

Future date will be announced.Unfortunately the Celebration of Life originally scheduled for August 15, 2020 in Fort Saskatchewan has been indefinitely postponed due to COVID-19.The OS you are using is no longer supported by this site. “I look forward to hearing from you as the member of parliament for 25 of 47 Inuit Nunangat communities.”Another user with the name Morgan chimed in by saying, “Lifelong Eskimos fan and current season ticket holder.
