My family is also Ukrainian, we definitely enjoy kielbassa, pierogies and vodka. That is all.

Why would they name it empire? It doesn't make sense and also some people could be offended based on the fact that empires usually is associated with evil and murdering of innocent people. If they are trying to get away from controversy then that would not be a smart choice IMO.

We also have a few foxes that do a great job of controlling the stray cat and rabbit population.

Banhammer?

Where did Unknown Poster go? So much wrestling news over the last month (mostly negative of course). Mainly though how terrible the ratings have been for WWE and AEW. Historically low ratings and it seems to be trending even lower each week it's crazy. I'm wondering if wrestling will cease to be mainstream in 5 years at this pace?

Lol they'd be insane to do that trade. Maybe Ehlers and Roslo + 1st overall... but not Connor.

Was that before filing for bankruptcy?

It's a bit eerie sometimes at night I can hear the coyotes howling in my area of town. I don't think we've had any issues with dogs/cats being killed...however the bunny population is way down compared to previous years.

Locally... The Indian Posse gang are in the midst of a brand change and everyone will need new tattoos and jackets by the end of the year lol.

I may be wrong but did the AAFL and XFL pay out all the players promised money once they folded?

I remember going to the game with my Dad and it was like watching a video game.... every huge long bomb connected that night.

To lighten up the mood of this thread... whenever I hear Eskimo I always think of this old Mad TV bit....

With him and Buff off the books.... I wonder who they sign...

How much cap space would it give us if he retires?

The fact that you double posted with spelling errors leads me to believe that you're currently on the course tipping a few back while trying to type

You've never gone downtown for delicious buffet lunch?

I went to Grand Beach on the weekend and can confirm it was very busy and that minimal social distancing was being practiced on the boardwalk. You would never think that any sort of pandemic was going on based on what I saw. A few weeks back my co worker posted pictures of Grand Beach and it was jam packed where you couldn't find a spot on the beach to lay a towel down. I've gone to the mall and shopping only a few times and the older folks are either overly paranoid or else completely oblivious and disregarding any social distancing. The malls I went to have been really bad outside of a few stores that were pro-active in cleaning. The people shopping don't give a **** at all. Grocery stores have stickers with arrows and sanitizer but most people ignore them. The walking paths near my house are full and people are not moving over or doing anything out of the ordinary. The dog park that I drive by is full of people huddled together whenever I do drive by. Go back to the BLM protest where they had 10 000 people contained in a small area where a large amount of folks were not even wearing masks. I'd say we are more lucky then anything else. I will say that the stand alone stores, strip malls, restaurants have all been top notch in enforcing and sanitizing.

Indian requires either a West or East in front of it to be deemed not racist... unless you speak to someone from India then it's a non issue at all. Silly world we live in.

I do feel sorry for you, CBC has a massive agenda so it's exactly the most reliable source of world news.

If you consider that reckless then I do not recommend that you go golfing with me and my friends then lol....

Hopefully we keep him around....

In all this confusion of posts, has any groups officially protested the name of "Eskimos" or was it only a sponsor wanting to pull out? My personal thoughts... most people do not associate the word Eskimo with something derogatory. This isn't something black and white such as Redskins. I agree with Tootoo and if the group of Inuits are not wanting it then change it. I can't stand when white people try to speak for other groups and assume that they know better. If it comes back that they would like the team to change the name, then it's not like the Edmonton Eskimos brand is some red hot brand that the merch sales hold the team up and generate so much revenue. It might give them a new opportunity to rebrand to something more attractive which could give them a nice boost of sales if done right. I still say if all else fails.... Edmonton RoughRiders....

O'Shea is brilliant but even he can't fix stupid....
