Edmonton's Canadian Football League team will drop "Eskimos" from its name, the organization announced Tuesday.
The 14-time Grey Cup champions said in a release that the team will "be known as the Edmonton Football Team or the EE Football Team" while it decides on a new name.
“Our team has a long history of winning – both on and off the field – and we will continue to do so going forward,” Janice Agrios, Chair of the Board of Directors, said in a press release. “We feel it is important to make this change in response to the findings of our recent engagement and research.
