Brendan Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 This week i was reading my sport illustrated and some guy wrote in saying that the Kansas City Jayhawks name should be changed becasue there was a terrorist group called the jayhawkers. Common people need stop being so up tight, the only name in pro sports i have a problem with is the redskins because its's a racial slur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korkie Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 This guy, bad?Maybe you should get out of the house more, so we can have somthing to really discuss. I agree, how can anyone be offended by a logo that looks just like Kevin from The Office.

Stampman Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I once read an article about how all the NHL team names were offensive, and so they would all change to "Canadians" (Not Canadiens--the French connotations could be offensive) becasue Canadians wouldn't complain.Many of the reasons were similar to many above. Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ravens are offensive to Edgar Allen Poe fans because it commercialized their favorite writer who was writing about emotion.That, or we could just hate them because they stole the Dirty Bird.

RickV Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I mean, the Spanish monks that the team is allegedy named after were involved in the Inquisition where Jews, Muslims and other non-Catholics were "tortured and burned in a carnival-like atmosphere" Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
