It won't be Irishmen who complain--it will be Libtards who are of some other ethnicity complaining and feigning to fight for the rights of the Irish. flashguy

| Redskins will eventually cave, but I couldn’t care less about football. I’m sure someone somewhere is offended by “Bruins” or “Astros”.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 |

I dreaded a World Series between Atlanta and Cleveland, for that reason.
A big Amen to this. I can't stand watching the Braves or FSU for this very reason. |

I always saw it a form of respect, you don't name your team something weak or lame.
Indians were and are I am sure proud people and they put up a ruthless, long fight back in the 1800's but ultimately technology rolled them and they were forcefully dominated.
Naming sports teams after them in the last century to me was a sign of respect.
you could argue that the Redskins name may be suspect but Indians, Braves, etc no way.
Political Correctness is the New Speak that George Orwell warned us about.

No one mentioned it yet but I am frankly amazed that Army helicopter naming conventions weren't changed during the Obummer administration. Kind of amazing considering our government

I don't think so, not as long as the current owner is there. He appears to be a hugely arrogant, wealthy, asshole who really doesn't give a damn about any of the PC nonsense. He's basically said as much. I'm not football fan, but I admire his approach. My team, my choice. No.
