A solid majority of Canadians don’t want to change the name of the Edmonton Eskimos football team just because some consider it politically incorrect.
According to a survey out Thursday from Insights West, 57 percent of Canadians don’t think the name of the Canadian Football League franchise should be changed. Some in the Inuit community of the Canadian arctic rate it as a racial epithet.
The poll released from the Vancouver marketing company found that only 21 percent object to the name while 23 percent were undecided.
The percentage of those supporting the existing name rose to 71 percent in the Eskimos’ home province of Alberta, where there is a longtime football rivalry between the “Esks” and the Calgary Stampeders.
