Redskins

it's not a bad name, but many find it offensive.

How?

Lol

Read any article on the subject at Deadspin. They've beat the subject to death, revived it and beat it to death again.

:whoosh:

Deadspin runs regular articles about how bad Dan Snyder is for keeping the name Redskins and the commenters bring up all the reasons why it should go.

If people find the Redskins offensive then I expect similar outrage over the name for the State of Oklahoma.

Oklahoma means, in Choctaw, okla and humma or red people.

I'll hang up and listen.

Indeed there is no worse insult to a Native American than to be called a "Oklahoman" - practically the equivalent of the N word.

this guy gets it, but i believe it transcends race. no one wants to be called that.

The obvious choice is the Pelicans but has anyone ever really thought about the Nashville Predators? It always makes me think of having Nashville hosting "To Catch a Predator Night" where a bunch of half naked men show up with small amounts of alcohol walk into the arena to be greeted by Chris Hansen.

Utah Jazz is horrible, maybe the worst.

But Pelicans is not that bad. Hornets was worse IMO. We don't have hornets in New Orleans any more than Utah is known for jazz.

Why are there Cavaliers in Cleveland?

Why are there Lakers in Los Angeles?

Toronto Raptors??? Why are there Raptors in TO again?

Cincinatti Bengals? Bengals, not Tigers mind you, no - Bengals.

Buffalo Bills - this would be better if Buffalo was in the west, but they're not, and there's not even a logo or even any kind of image or anything like that of Buffalo Bill associated with the team. What's on the helmet? Why it's a bison. They should have called the team the Buffalo Bisons.

I always thought the Kissimee Astros was always either the worst or the best.

For most of these, blame relocation. It used to be Minnesota Lakers, New Orleans Jazz and Charlotte Hornets (which the Bobcats are going to go back to which is why the Pelicans started this year).The Raptors were the NBAs attempt to capitalize on Jurassic Park popularity by naming their next franchise after them.

Cavaliers is simple alliteration I guess. Its Cleveland so who cares.

And what's wrong with the Bengals? That's actually a decent name.

and the team that found some of the first fossils was half Canadian.

My high school team was the Rabbits. Nothing spells ferocious like a little fuzzy bunny rabbit. We did change after a school merger to the most boring widely used name in sports...the Wildcats.

Monty Python changed this for everyone. Ask Tim.

Tom, the joke is that the response to my post was "How?" Hence the woosh. I think.

True. I think Holy Hand Grenades would be a pretty cool team name. That or Knights Who Say Ni.
