It was pretty bad, but they'll have that cleaned up pretty quick. Oilers host Calgary in an exhibition game in a couple weeks, but they'll have no problem fixing it before then. It's all in the concourse by the entrance off 104th. Not near the actual arena.

Empire is the only reasonable solution...get it done.

In the 5 day average, Manitoba is at a 0.16% infection rate. Roussin says an infection rate of 2-3% would be cause for concern in MB. Manitoba needs to maintain social distancing, mask-wearing, hand-washing, etc to ensure they don't see a rise into dangerous territory.

didn't like Childress and absolutely despise Henry Burris. Fart noises. Good for Huff and Uteck as builders, tho...

Intriguing...I like Jamie Foxx, and I will watch Joe Levitt in pretty much anything. This seems like a "I'll catch it on bluray/streaming" movie, but I think I'll dig this.

I'd trade Laine for Eichel, maybe.....but I wouldn't do Connor for Eichel straight up. I don't care where they were drafted.

I want to say I listened to that game on CJOB while camping at Big Whiteshell, but I'm not 100% sure. One of the greatest shames in pro sports is that there is no video of that game, other than a CKND highlight pack. I don't even think CJOB has the logger tapes from that night. Man oh man, what a shame.

Alberta is, now moreso than ever, "Little America".......and they're extremely proud of that fact.

Phenomenal.....I love you Manitoba. Meanwhile, in the cess pool that is Alberta, we've got thousands jamming the beach at Sylvan Lake because people are "over it" re: COVID. From the mouth of the premier, it's time to get back to normal, apparently. Caseloads reaching new highs daily, with outbreaks at care homes. F***, I hate this place sometimes.

We don't bat an eye at Indians, Redskins, Braves and Eskimos..... But if you a team The Whities, Pale-Faces, etc.... You'd bet there'd be questions. It's insane to name sports teams after an ethnicity.

Again, why do we name teams after ethnicities? I don't understand how that even became a thing.

What's the active caseload in MB now? Is it still at 4?

Jets vs Cgy is the late game Aug 3. Man, I'm excited to get things going. Just hope they can stay safe.

You're not wrong.......but man it's insane that this is the world we're living in now.

Disagree....

Coming home for Labour Day and the two weeks following, and hoping the Bombers sticker on my wife's car will keep us from having the tires slashed at any point.....

I love you Manitoba...I just want to come home and be in your healthy, non-COVID-y, non-Republican-loving borders....

the entire notion of nicknaming a team after an ethnicity or race is just ridiculous and makes no sense. I can't imagine the world where it DID make sense...

see, now there's the thing: If the team was all Inuit players, then they get to call it that.

I just don't understand teams using ethnicities as a nickname..... like, why is that even a thing?

Unfortunately, in Alberta, this is what it takes to do what's right....

So, I'm fortunate to have been gifted a fresh batch of Bombers games on DVD that start in the 07 season. I had forgotten about this situation where Westwood cost us in the season opener against Edmonton, where we lost in OT because he missed a couple relative chip shots. Then the next game, which we won, was the new kicker and of course that's all the announcers are talking about. (Palardy, I think?) And they kept showing Westwood on the sideline....refusing to be anywhere near his teammates and not cheering for the new guy (or the team, in general). It was a really really interesting thing to watch that whole situation unfold...

Calling for a blatantly racist name to be changed is not "being offended". It's "doing the right thing...which should have been done 50 years ago"

Someone online was mentioning how they've been using the nickname of Empire a lot in the past several years so it would be an easy switch to that. Keep the EE thing and not have a ridiculously racist nickname.
