The Edmonton Eskimos have decided to keep their team name after "an extensive year-long formal research and engagement program with Inuit leaders and community members across Canada."
The team is facing condemnation from social justice organizations with claims that the term "Eskimo" is "racist" and discriminatory towards the Inuit.
The Eskimos' decision to retain their name comes in contrast to the Washington Redskins, which recently announced that it would be shedding its name over outrage stemming from contemporary cultural sensitivities.
No more half measures...
