I wonder if the enviro whackos will set their sights on the hockey team, as “Oilers” has those associations with fossil fuels and climate change, lol.

I wonder why the name Vikings keeps getting ignored by the PC crowd. They were marauders and colonists, and white.

No To Elk, Elkhounds, and Eagles. If it’s disrespectful to name teams after people, it’s also disrespectful to name teams after animals. The poor animals can’t even complain about it. Where’s PETA?

Some time ago, Canadian company was putting a new product into the market that was round pellets of sodium hydroxide. Very white in color. The name they settled on was Polar something and left it up to the employees to select the something part of the name. The most popular name by far was Polar Bear Balls.

So, this company was actually pretty smart preselecting a drab set of names to vote on.

Wait...what?

Isn’t it the Edmonton Oilers?

Are we saying oil is just offensive now?

How about the Edmonton Solar Panels? Or the Edmonton Wind Turbines?

The CFL is a low rent operation. In this case they want it alliterative so they don't have to change the logo.
