This could not be more in bad faith. Edmonton& #39;s @CFL team took 1-3 years to survey fewer Inuk than even live in Edmonton. #ChangeTheName #NotYourMascot https://twitter.com/_llebrun/status/1283802100640743426">https://twitter.com/_llebrun/...
Last federal census identified at least 715 Inuk in Edmonton.
A sports team should be better at math and stats. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ˜¶" title="Mundloses Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Mundloses Gesicht"> They& #39;ve "surveyed" less than 0.04% of Inuit within Canada& #39;s borders. And they& #39;ve kept the name based on support from, what, 0.01% of an identified group they are known to be racist against?
Would the team consider selling 0.04% of tickets a sign of fan support? Would winning 1 game every 14 years be a sign of success on the field? This would be absolutely laughable if not for the racism. So, it& #39;s just infuriating white fragility, privilege and delay.
If you& #39;d like to support the many Inuk who have been asking the team to change its name for years, I think there are two things that could help: ask the @CityofEdmonton to review its stadium lease with the team; and email sponsors here: https://www.progressalberta.ca/tell_the_sponsors_change_the_name">https://www.progressalberta.ca/tell_the_...
