Fun to watch the snot-slinging tantrums of the White Right.
Especially when you consider what they're whimpering about is private businesses making business decisions on the basis of their business judgment, something they claim to be all in favour of.
New name, Washington Bolsheviks.
'Cause all the best business decisions are made under duress
It sure is! Why, the New York Giants are considering changing their name to the "Kikes," the Phoenix Cardinals are thinking about "Spics," and New Orleans is contemplating "N*****s," to get in on all the many, many benefits of having a racial slur as a team name!having a racial slur as a franchise name is good business.
Blackskins didn't make the short list?Possible replacements:
-- Redscalps
-- Tomahawks
-- Wigwams
Or just what everybody else calls them: The Washington Losers". They haven't been good since the 80s.
canucks?having a racial slur as a franchise name is good business.
Whats the difference? Still a derogatory term.Your kind get offended because it is the in thing to do.Because Canadian is a race?
You're right. American business decisions should be dictated by butthurt Canadian righties.
It's what Adam Smith wanted!
The difference is that "canuck" is a smear word for a nationality while "redskin" is a smear against what people consider to be "race"
Like Yank and Redksin.
Yank is akin to Canuck while Redskin is akin to N word.
Nah, son, this here's America! We do things BIGGER and BETTER!How about offending 2 races at once "REDBLACKS"
So. . . what's your ideal solution? Do you simply want to maintain names and brands that have become offensive as times go by and language and values change, or do you want to actively change things to produce greater offense, division, and unhappiness?Not just Smith but Keynes... Also interesting to learn that duress-based decision making is the big new trend down in the US of A... Lemme make a few calls and I'll look into seeing if we can't send a shipment of balls to ya to maybe see if it helps you man-up a bit
Yes, and they change as language and culture change.There's a boogeyman under every bed all the time.
I've said it before: take a lesson from the Georgetown Hoyas and the Virginia Tech Hokies.I'd suggest that any company, team, organization, etc be only allowed to name their entity after flowers but there's a good chance that those professionals in botany will be deeply offended.
