SinceThe70s Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 After an Ottawa Redhawks TD, an offensive lineman ran to the stands, grabbed a can of beer from a fan (I think it was his GF), chugged it and best of all crushed it on his helmet. ESPN had a better clip, but I found this one: http://larrybrownsports.com/football/cfl-player-jon-gott-chugs-beer-touchdown/471395

Expand Two franchises ago in Ottawa, it was the 'Rough Riders', and that caused no end of derision what with the Saskatchewan Roughriders also in the league. 1

Expand I think its after an older defunct franchise. Also believe it's an homage to the old lumberjacks who would wear red & black plaid jackets. Speaking of CFL, Hamilton will have a celebrity fan come out during their home playoff game. Apparently 'The Nature Boy' Rick Flair is a fan and posted a video online saying he will be there on the field for the game.

row_33 Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) Ottawa dropped out for awhile and returned with the new name Renegades, it’s the third recent incarnation of the franchise so maybe the RR name wasn’t available? Edited November 3, 2018 by row_33

Expand Adding that space immediately makes it no longer offensive, because now they are just a colored bird instead of a native American term! The Redskins should think about that too, then they are just a team named after people who stayed out in the sun too long.

Expand Blackhawks were named after original owner's WWI division (I think division): Blacks Hawks, Army I think? This is just off the top of head, memory. But I agree with your post.

Expand that's okay, there's been like 9 and then 8 and then 9 teams or whatever as a Canadian i have to pretend to have some interest in it when people in my life talk about it directly with me for a total of about 15 hours each year....
