    This is sacrilege.
    The Indians are gone, now there are three.

    Indigenous Americans who complained about that name had too much time on their hands.

    If the Boston Red Red Sox had been named the North End Dagos since 1901, I would not only be cool with it but even proud.

    How about the Notre Dame [French, obviously] Fighting Irish?
    AW look, you got a thanks from a racist! lol

    I never got "fighting Irish" when the univ. is obviously a French name.

    It’s only in regards to football team and their never give up attitude

    The most generally accepted explanation is that the press coined the nickname as a characterization of Notre Dame athletic teams, their never-say-die fighting spirit and the Irish qualities of grit, determination and tenacity. ... “The term 'Fighting Irish' has been applied to Notre Dame teams for years.

    They named a team after statues at the entrance of a fucking bridge.

    Maybe the Yankees should change their name to the Lions after the statues out in front of the library.
    "Yankees" must be very offensive to Northern WASPS, no?

    "Woke" is yet another of America's terminal illnesses.
    This nation has no hope remaining whatsoever.

    If I had a long time left, I'd be on my way to Italy.
    By Italian law, I am at least eligible to emigrate there and request citizenship.
    All four of my grandparents were born there.
    I'm pedigreed, not a mongrel like most Americans.

    With four or five years left, maybe, there's no point.
    Plus nobody is re-naming the Red Sox yet.
