Principal Suzanne Fortier says the Redmen name is not one the university would choose today, and it is not one that McGill should carry forward.
The name dates back to the 1920s and has been described by some as a tribute to the teams' red uniforms. But in the 1950s, men's and women's teams came to be nicknamed the “Indians” and “Squaws,” and some teams later adopted a logo with an Indigenous man wearing a headdress.
New Brunswick Negros Now that would be cool. Specially if it was the name of The Basketball Team. According to some on here if that was announced as a new team name I should be good with it. I guarantee you, we would not be good with this. Put some huge lips on the mascot
So are you called “Red Peoplekind” now?
Meh, there’s other PC bullshit that’s far more worthy of attention and outrage
Here's an idea for a new mascot
They shall be known as method man
This's so politically correct..
OK GOOD. PAT ON THE BACK FOR BASIC HUMAN DECENCY. WHOS NEXT THO
SMH!
Will the change the name to the ‘Redpersons’ ?
Are they going with White Men?😂🤪lunatics
Finally. Lots of teams need to catch up and ditch the racist mascots.
Wow just wow
