A men's baseball team in central Alberta is changing its name from "Indians" to "Trappers" after years of online pressure and accusations of racism. Team manager Desmond Bouteiller, who once played for the Innisfail Indians, says he and his teammates used to wear their uniforms with pride, feeling they were honouring a group of people, not slandering them. Bouteiller says he and his teammates paused when asked what their team name was. The Innisfail baseball team just bought new equipment a couple of years ago, and will be raising money for new equipment. Bouteiller said the team decided on Trappers in part to honour Innisfail's early history.
