EDMONTON — The cancellation of the Washington Redskins’ patent on its team name has some calling for the Edmonton Eskimos to consider a name change.
The U.S. Patent Office ruled Wednesday the Redskins name is “disparaging of Native Americans” and cancelled the team’s federal trademarks.
The ruling came after a year-long campaign to change the name.
The decision prompted some social media users to call on the Eskimos to drop their name, which has been in use since 1897.
