The blowup over the Washington Redskins NFL logo and mascot could boost a campaign in Canada to spike the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos brand, which some have suggested could also be considered offensive.

    You have GOT to be frickin' kidding me.... This is just beyond stupid.
    Goodbye Eskimos, goodbye Redskins, goodbye Blackhawks.... It's time these mindless morons got a life - maybe even a hobby.

    Eskimos maybe....Blackhawks doesn't seem to be a disparaging name, however...

    The name, "Edmonton Eskimos" is as disparaging as the Montreal Canadians. :lol:

    Says who? As long as a very small number of people complain it should (in theory) get the same treatment as the Redskins...

    That being said...I'm insulted by the term 'Canucks'...time to change the name!

    And if you disagree, I am also insulted by your lack of insultedness.

    Eskimos isn't a slur.

    Exactly. Redskins is a racial slur. Not Eskimo.

    I vote for Edmonton Goons. All hockey teams should have to adopt names that reflect the nature of the sport.

    How about the Edmonton Climate Changers - there's a scary name.

    Are you going to add Blue Jays, Orioles, Ravens and Cardinals to the list?
