This could not be more in bad faith. Edmonton's @CFL team took 1-3 years to survey fewer Inuk than even live in Edmonton. #ChangeTheName #NotYourMascot https://twitter.com/_llebrun/status/1283802100640743426
Last federal census identified at least 715 Inuk in Edmonton.
A sports team should be better at math and stats. 
They've "surveyed" less than 0.04% of Inuit within Canada's borders. And they'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's just infuriating white fragility, privilege and delay.
If you'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
