  1. I believe the players are required to self quarantine for 2 weeks BEFORE coming to the city, and then another 2 when here. I might be mistaken about that.
  2. There's no chance of a season right now. Its too late. I honestly don't know why they are taking so long to announce this.
  3. I'm guessing you dont know anyone who has worked for him? Less hostile isnt how I would describe it. Lol
  4. I had a very different experience. It depends a lot on the individuals sinus cavity. My test didn't hurt but was pretty uncomfortable. On the other hand it barely registered for my wife or daughter (3 yr old). My son balled his eyes out (6yr old). And we waited for 2 and 1/2 hours....this was before the latest spike in MB.
  5. It's a good start. But why would anyone refuse to take a Covid test?
  6. Saunders was talking on twitter about the 9 owners paying ten% to help...i dont know what he means by that. But there seems to be at least some wishful thinking by the players to say the least.
  7. Or what? A sports team name will change? OH THE HORROR!!!!
  8. This is worrisome. They can't even get the details to what they are managing correct but want us to believe they will be able to run this thing? Devil is in the details and that's a pretty horrible start.
  9. This is even weirder. I've heard this change would cost $$$ and fans would be staying away https://www.sportsnet.ca/football/cfl/edmonton-cfl-team-sees-merchandise-sales-spike-name-change/
  10. This is weird considering I have it on good authority that people just didn't care.... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/inuit-reaction-edmonton-cfl-team-name-change-1.5658904?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar
  11. it's almost like individuals are...different...
  12. Eskimos, when the team was named, wasn't seen as derogatory or racist. That's the modern spin. I mean...if we've learned anything, it's that in the early to mid 1900's there was very little racism. I'm sure when the stamps called Edmonton that it was very respectful lol.
  13. Edmonton Elk
  14. I like the Elk better then empire...mostly cause they could have sweet antlers painted on their helmets.
  15. I'll talk about what I want where I want thanks. This was part of that discussion, the tweet I shared was an example of why some people don't like the name Eskimos. Someone else compared it to SIN and you said that was a great point. I disagreed and said why.
  16. That's not even how we elect our leaders. Do you think Calgary should ask 50% of canadians where their new football stadium is built? Or what the design should look like? I'm guessing you want 50% of america to vote on the new NHL team name in Seattle?
  17. all of them
  18. wow...maybe there will be a season after all.
  19. Get off the fox news bro. Shits bad for you. You are right about some of the BLM leaders being trained Marxists though. Odd thing about the BLM movement...its not a machine with one leader. There are many branches with many beliefs. It's not a simple "Their bad!" like some media like to make it out to be. It's also not "lets do exactly what they say" like other media outlets claim. Shits complicated.
  20. I honestly don't know. Those aren't required/forced on people (Well there could be an argument that they are I actually) and there's certainly a case that they should not be a thing either. There is a DRASTIC difference in the two scenarios though.
  21. I honestly can't remember what started the process but it didn't just start. I posted an article from 2018 that went over Edmonton consulting people about the name change. People do want it to change, other people don't.
  22. it's a horrible comparison. This was not something assigned to EVERYONE. It was only one race of people...who were then called something other then what they wanted to be called. And if either of you bothered to actually read what the twitter posts after say. Many kids were no longer called by name...but the number assigned to them...after they were kidnapped and forced to give up their cultural identity. If you don't see a problem with that, we can't be friends.
  23. That's like saying how were the tattoo Jewish people got during the holocaust any different then a SIN...these kids were taken from their home, given numbers that they were identified with..their names were no longer used. They were now 3-1402.
  24. read Jordans statement again. And then show everyone where he says he is against changing the name.
