Mayor Don Iveson joins calls for Edmonton Eskimos to change name

Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson has offered support for a change in the name of the Edmonton Eskimos following comments from Winnipeg’s mayor.
Iveson told reporters Thursday the CFL team should consider changing its name at the end of the season.
Winnipeg’s first Métis mayor, Brian Bowman, said Wednesday he thinks there is an opportunity for “a more inclusive” name. He was speaking ahead of the West Division matchup Sunday between the Eskimos and Winnipeg Blue Bombe
