WOW!, How unimaginative you must be either very stupid or are just retarted. But I'm not surpised there's an ass in every message board. :P

Redskin IS a racist term, no matter how Daniel Snyder tries to spin it.

I'd think that someone with nearly 1500 posts would know enough to stay out of a conversation unless he has something productive to add....

Post count is never indicative of logic or rational thought. I can show you an example if you need one.

retarted

Geeze, if you're going to use this as an insult, at least spell it correctly.

Back on topic, I still think they went the right way using Red Bull New York instead of the other way around. It just flows better and this form of commercialism doesn't really bother me. Let's face it, all sports are are moving ads. This one is more glaring but no more egregious.

Mod edit: No need to start anything.

Speaking of something productive to add...

This isn't the first venture that Red Bull is taking into American sports. They're also starting up their own NASCAR team for next season, running the new Toyota Camry that's debuting next season also.

WOW! A NASCAR team with a Japanese branded car sponsored by a Austrian company. Who's going to own it a Aussie? Next they will be running F1 at Talladega... :D

Not sure they can go nads-out for 200 miles, much less 500. I'd love to see them try, though.

You are ignoring this user

Still the best feature of this board.

Why are you ignoring bucfan? Hes not a bad poster.

And sorry if I think that a sport that names their teams after energy drink is a joke. Ill stay out of the soccer threads from now on. Didnt mean to anger anyone.

Well, personally, naming a team after a company is a bit of joke, but it occurs regardless of sport. There are plenty of teams in various sports outside of North America that does this, not just soccer. So if you're going to hate soccer because of this, then you would hate basketball, for example as well.

I saw, I came, I left.

I don't like the away jersey having completely different colors than the home jersey, as is common in europe. At least have a little blue at home and a little red on the road.

Also, I was wondering, is the teams name Red Bull New York or New York Red Bulls, or is it interchangable? I personally like New York Red Bulls seeing how we are an American league, although I appreciate and welcome a little european influence.

That's funny. An Australian company purchased an American soccer team and you like the European influence.

I'd like to continue being on record as enjoying this name change. I really hated "MetroStars."

They're not the same country? That is just too confusing for an Amerocentric (I think I just made up a word) person such as myself. Can the United Nations force one of them to change their name? If so, I think Austria should change, because I like Foster's, the Hoodoo Gurus and Elle MacPherson, whereas Austria has made no significant cultural contributions relevant to my lifestyle. :upside:

The Austria - Australia problem would go away if we just didn't anglicize every nation's real name into something English speakers can deal with.

Austria = Osterreich

Australia = Oztrallya (kidding, Australia)

I wonder why languages do that? Change city and nation names. Is it so hard for us to say Deutschland, España, Munchen, Wien or Firenze?

(English is not alone, in Spanish London is Londres, Germany is Alemania, and

Sweden is Suecia)

If we're going to discuss our favorite Austrian Nazis, let be sure to include former UN Secretary-General and Austrian President, Kurt Waldheim. :upside:
