    Ah, I see. Reading your link, it appears the Redblacks are named after the gambling card game "rouge et noir".

    Should've named the team the "Othellos" instead, after the non-gambling board game othello. That name would appear less racist to the ignorant mind.

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
