....lybob Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Considering the Tea Parties place in Washington wouldn't the Washington Rednecks be a more apt name for the team.
keepthefaith Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Considering the Tea Parties place in Washington wouldn't the Washington Rednecks be a more apt name for the team. Actually the Tea Party are more like Patriots but that name is already taken by another football team and there isn't much going on in DC to honor that name.
KD in CA Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 How about this one? A team called the Arab's? http://sports.yahoo....-113535243.html Named 90 years ago after an immigrant group that settled in the area. The large Arab community living there doesn't seem to have an issue with it so why should anyone else?
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Named 90 years ago after an immigrant group that settled in the area. The large Arab community living there doesn't seem to have an issue with it so why should anyone else? You nitwit, because that's what Arabs call themselves: Arabs The large Arab community would have an issue if they, Coachella Valley, used a nickname that is akin to the term redskins, say: sand ni**ers. redskin noun (pejorative) An American Indian. sand ni**er noun (pluralsand ni**ers) (context, derogatory, offensive) A person of Arabic descent.

Koko78 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Named 90 years ago after an immigrant group that settled in the area. The large Arab community living there doesn't seem to have an issue with it so why should anyone else? Because people who aren't of Arab decent that live nowhere near that area are acting like they're offended. Therefore the name, logo, team and shorts need to be changed.
3rdnlng Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Maybe they should be renamed the "Terrorists" or the "Suicide Bombers". Maybe that would take the supposed slur away from the "Arabs". Damn pc'rs, Let's become Europe and say "not that there is anything wrong with that" about everything.
Keukasmallies Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 How 'bout Cleveland Redskins? Fits nicely into the whole brouhaha, doncha' think?
Koko78 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 How 'bout Cleveland Redskins? Fits nicely into the whole brouhaha, doncha' think? I have no problem with that proposed team name. After all, the derogatory nickname "Browns" is an insult to not only black people and those of Arabic/Persian descent for making fun of the color of their skin, but is also insulting to all of the other colors of the rainbow. As a white fan of the Buffalo Bills who lives several hundred miles from the Cleveland area, I must demand that the Cleveland Browns change their name as it offends me.
KD in CA Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Because people who aren't of Arab decent that live nowhere near that area are acting like they're offended. Therefore the name, logo, team and shorts need to be changed. No, they're not. Whiny douchebag media a--holes from LA and NY are acting like they're offended. Therefore you are just another pathetic PC lemming. You nitwit, because that's what Arabs call themselves: Arabs The large Arab community would have an issue if they, Coachella Valley, used a nickname that is akin to the term redskins, say: sand ni**ers. No sh-- retard. That's why I said it was much nonsense about nothing. Go take your meds.
