“The name stems from colours worn by the team”
“A ‘First Nations’ {aboriginal} athlete on McGill University’s rowing team is calling on the university to change the Redmen team name. Tomas Jirousek, who has been on the Montreal university’s rowing team for three years, is from the Kainai ‘First Nation’ {a ‘nation’ of 12,491 people} in southern Alberta. He is organizing an on-campus demonstration against the name later this month…
“He said the name of the team hasn’t been easy for him as an ‘indigenous’ {Canadian aboriginal} athlete.
“Since the late 1920s, McGill’s men’s varsity teams have been known as the Redmen. According to professor Fabrice Labeau, interim Student Life and Learning Deputy Provost, the name stems from colours worn by the team…”
