Just keep the damn name, they are not using it in a derogatory manner. Hell even the mascot is a polar bear which by definition in an Eskimo.

It's kind of a 'soft bigotry of low expectations' thing anyway.

Really...what's wrong with being an Eskimo? It's only defamatory if you're finding something wrong with an Inuit before they were gifted with that approved name. Apparently, there used to be something wrong with being an Eskimo, but if you call them Inuit it becomes OK for reasons known only to the bigoted few at the top who feel superior to Eskimos.

The worst thing Eskimo can mean in a football sense is, "Hey, were from the north."

Guess we'll have to rename Wales too, as Wales and Welsh are based on the Anglo Saxon word for foreigner.

Don't all three of their remaining Gaels already demand that the place be officially recognized as Cymru and nothing else? Beware the killer rabbit of Caer Bannog! :lol:
