The Canadian Football League’s Edmonton Eskimos have had their name since the late 1890s, but the name has drawn ire for being disrespectful to Inuit people.

On Friday, April 6, near 5:00pm central time, a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos, a junior hockey team, was struck by a semi-truck trailer.

Dave Deibert (@davedeibert) is an online editor at The Saskatoon StarPhoenix and mixed-martial-arts reporter for the Postmedia News chain. He’s among the many reporters from The StarPhoenix who’ve been reporting on the accident since Friday. We got to speak to him about his work reporting on the tragedy.
