CFL’s Edmonton Eskimos will search for new name
EDMONTON – The Edmonton Eskimos will change their name.
The CFL squad made the announcement Tuesday, following a similar decision by the NFL’s Washington Redskins as pressure mounts on teams to eliminate racist or stereotypical names.
The team said in a release it will begin “a comprehensive engagement process” on a new name. In the meantime, the club will use the names EE Football Team and Edmonton Football Team.
