Talk:Trans-Canada Air Lines Flight 810-9

Blue Bombers were on the plane....
Re this edit, this isn't at all what I know of the passenger list....CFL or not, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers were on the plane, my uncle had gone to Vancouver with them (he was from Winnipeg) to see the game, and was on the plane back with them....where you got the bit about the Rugby Union players from I don't know. My brother organized the "Families of Slesse" campaign to protect teh crash site and has seen all documents to do with who was on the plane etc (including some documents nobody else has ever seen), and he's never mentioned anything about rugby players or a rugby game....only the Blue Bombers.Skookum1 (talk) 19:21, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The Blue Bombers did indeed play Canadian football (and not rugby) long before the CFL was formed. But Canadian football was once called Canadian rugby football, and the governing body of the sport, the CRU, was very late in changing its name to conform to common parlance, thus creating a lot of confusion. It did not change its name to Football Canada until 1967. Indefatigable (talk) 20:32, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
