If it's comedy, it should be in the "joke" section. Instead it's in the "hot topics" section. Clearly it's a hot topic for angry old white guys

I like how everyone is like everything non white is cultural appropiation but those same groups never talk about or mention the Celtics, Fighting Irish....

Not that i care about the names of sports teams but Double Standard much?

I always thought the NCAA was silly for demanding that the Fighting Sioux change their name but have no issues with the Fighting Irish. It's even funnier when you look at the respectable Sioux logo and the cartoonish leprechaun.

The leprechaun is a cartoonist?

I don't know about racist but it's the stupidest name I ever heard for a professional football team.
Reds, Blacks or Stripers might have been half-way sensible but 'RED BLACKS'? Jeez!

Nothing serious to see here. This is a Jimmy Kimmel or 22 Minutes type bit where the interviewer feeds moronic ideas to people. I find it quite ridiculous how some people respond to an interviewer I would simply have told to phuch off. And yes, Red Blacks is a terrible name, but not because it has anything to do with race, but simply because it is so lacking in imagination.

Lumberjack culture is being exploited.

Think of the lumberjack children and that being fleeced is an honour and not a privilege.
