The decision comes after major team sponsors including Belairdirect and Sports Interaction put pressure on Edmonton to change its name.
quote:
Belairdirect one of our core values is respect, which is founded on seeing diversity as a strength, being inclusive and collaborative," reads a statement from the company.
"In order for us to move forward and continue on with our partnership with the Edmonton Eskimos, we will need to see concrete action in the near future including a name change. We have shared our position with the team."
Belairdirect is a longtime sponsor of the team's 50/50 draw at Commonwealth Stadium.
Earlier Thursday, Sports Interaction, an online sportsbook operated out of Quebec by the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake, told CTV News it also wanted a name change.

Change it to the Eskimo Brothers. Less offensive.

Why is eskimos offensive to anyone?

While they prefer Native, there probably aren't any Native Canadians or Native Alaskans who are offended by Eskimo.
Their only offense to it is its used to describe all Native peoples in the North when they are different peoples.
Like Asian or Asiatic...a blanket term. But it's not a pejorative.
Just call them the Edmonton Inuits.

Just playing the woke game.
Would Inuit be less offensive?

So, it doesn’t bother him at all, but it may offend someone. Therefore, it should probably be changed.
