SinceThe70s Posted November 3, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 2 hours ago, Marv's Neighbor said: Ottawa RedBlacks? Are they owned by Red Green? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Purists will often point out that the Saskatchewan team's name is 'Roughriders', whereas the former Ottawa team was the 'Rough Riders'. The RedBlacks have taken legal steps to protect use of the 'Rough Rider' name subject to the current football team's approval.

Never mind the 'wannabe' cowpokes in both the East and West Divisions. I'm waiting for an overzealous group to protest the name of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted November 3, 2018 Share 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?

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
