Well, this is a discussion forum. If the only criteria was to be safe, Eagles would have been a better choice. My point was if the club wanted to right a wrong, they had a great opportunity to do something bold and make a statement. I do think Elks is maybe an easy target. The Board of Directors should have applied the "John Oliver Test". What would John Oliver say on Last Week Tonight? "..... changing the team name from Eskimos to The Elks, a historically racist, all male fraternal order. Yeah, that's much better".
