Episode Synopsis

Please note that there is a version of this episode with slides, if you prefer. You can watch the video on YouTube here.In this installment, we track the progression from the heady college days of Canadian and American football, to the groups that would go on to form the Canadian Football League. Come along and find out, from among these many schools and clubs: which team names were the exact same, which ones were the dumbest, and which ones were the most racist (none of these categories are mutually exclusive).Part 5 is also a great place to learn about "emotional support slurs," exactly how transmissible Scottishness is, and exactly which of our many trophies' namesakes were intimately involved in Rhodesia.Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/CanuckIsASlurJoin our Discord: https://discord.gg/RCACQQue28Follow our various socials: https://linktr.ee/CanuckIsASlurCheck out Beyond the Breakers: https://www.instagram.com/beyondthebreakerspodcast/ Follow Tanner on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hive.fleet.hodag/Intro: "The Log Driver's Waltz" by Wade Hemsworth (performed by Kate & Anna McGarrigle) Outro: "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Techo" by BKS (featuring Don Cherry)Major sources:"How Football Began: a Global History of How the World's Football Codes Were Born" by Tony Collins (2019)
