Next thing you know groups like PETA will be demanding that the teams not use animal names because it promotes violence between species. In the NFL the Bears, Lions, Eagles, Panthers, Falcons, Seahawks, Cardinals, Rams, Bengals, Ravens, Dolphins, Bills, Colts, Jaguars and Broncos would all have to change their names.
Some union will claim that the term Packers is demeaning to hard working individuals or that it could be an insult to the happy community (fudge packers). People of Scandanavian decent will file a lawsuit claiming the term Vikings is derogatory. The name Cowboys can be seen as a code word for calling someone an uneducated redneck and hearing the name repeatedly can cause Romophobia. People with Gigaphobia will want the name Giants banned as just hearing that sends them into an emotional frenzy. Religious leaders will want Saints removed as the players have not earned that noble distinction.
The names Buccaneers, Steelers (could also be included in the Packers thread about workers), 49ers, and Raiders will need to be changed as these represent people that have invaded and stole natural resources or property of others. People with brown skin obviously should demand that the Browns team name be changed. People of English decent are offended by Patriot due to their desire to be independent from England. Patriot should also be changed because it is very close to the name Patriot Act which we all know is evil. Anyone affected by 9/11 should want the name Jets changed as it is a constant reminder of that tragic day not to mention Pteromerhanophobia plus the fear of having to go to the airport and get molested by the TSA thugs.
The name Titans will need to be changed because it promotes an evil insurance company and since Titan is a moon of Saturn, people with Selenophobia or Lunaphobia cannot watch a game without having emotional problems. A liberal group will demand that Texans has to go because Texas is a red state and that dumbass Bush is from there. People with Astraphobia will be within their rights to demand that Chargers be changed as just the sight of that lightning bolt on their helmet is cruel. It is also an insult to the hundreds of people that have died or been seriously injured by lightning strikes.
The KC Chiefs are ok as is, I see no problems with that or how anyone can take issue with that name.

I heard right wingers are asking that the name 'Texans' be changed because it makes everyone in Houston be construed as racist.

I agree--but people like to feel like they are doing good progressively.

"Redskin" is a racial descriptor of disputed origin for Native Americans. Although by some accounts not originally having negative intent,[1] the term is defined in current dictionaries of American English as "usually offensive",[2] "disparaging",[3][4] "insulting",[5] "taboo" [6] and is avoided in public usage with the exception of its continued use as a name for sports teams.
So, to me I think the term has moved to a deragatory meaning and should probably be changed unless it is anticipated to go back to having the meaning of just a red-skinned person. I see both sides of the issue. I understand you cannot fix everything that is offensive to everyone. But this is pretty general. I also do not like the PC crowd determining what and when to change everything they deem 'offensive'.
I am from the South and see this the same as the Rebel flag deal. I understand and respect the heritage part. But the flag has been hijacked by the racists, et. al. So, these are two issues I would be willing to give on.

The NewYork Legislature has already passed a measure that Pro Teams should not take nicknames that promote racism,etc.Even though none of these teams are in NewYorkState and they don't state what they will do if a team does take a nickname. The legislators have solved unemployment and the highest taxes in NYS history so they apparently have alot of time on their hands.
Syracuse University mascot use to be the Saltine Warrior (native american) but they caught so much flak that they changed it to just a color.

There is a High School in Arizona called Red Mesa. This school is on Indian Reservation land and guess what their team name is? They are the Red Mesa Redskins. Apparently they are ok with the name.
If anyone gets the chance, check out the letter thet the Redskins GM, Allen, wrote to Harry Reid. He basically told Harry to shut his piehole and schooled him with some facts. Classic.

Even though I agree with Allen more than Reid, he used that the origin of the word was benign? But has the connotation changed over time to be derogatory enough to warrant at least considering changing it? I am sure when an Indian uses Redskin it may mean something different than when a white guys uses it. As we see with at least one other word. So not sure how valid that is. I am sure a large majority do not care. Because I like to think most normal people have common sense. But if the word is offensive to Native Americans...maybe look at it? Instead of just saying you won't sell your team no matter what? Oh wait---different issue.

90% of Native Americans do not object to the Redskin name. Case closed.

Do not object may mean don't care. Not saying I want it changed ---just saying maybe they don't care it is a deragatory term nowadays...still doesn't mean we shouldn't look into whether is is offensive maybe? But I hope they aren't just pressured into it by PC crowd---Because to them it is far from closed---so not sure that argument holds up with that crowd.
