Do you find the Saints logo/name offensive?  

36 members have voted

  1. 1. The name "Saints" is offensive to me because

    • It is a religious theme which has no part in the NFL
      6
    • It is a name that evokes violence and death
      8
    • It is a name that symbolizes a weapon
      6
    • I don't find it offensive but will stand behind anyone who is offended by it

Do you find the name offensive and should New Orleans change the name of their team? Various possible responses 

 

Is the name Saints related to religion which has no place in the NFL

 

Is the name Saints synonymous with death and violence in history?

 

Is the name Saints and their logo similar to a weapon?

 

Is the name Saints acceptable but you will stand behind anyone who feels it is offensive?

I voted for all four since I feel a whirlwind of emotions every time I hear the name. As a proud mormon, I am immensely offended. I'm glad Fergy is here to provide this safe space.

Well said. I’m interested to see if others share the same sentiment.

I guess you fellas are just confused or sad. 

I know you’re fighting hard to be the board’s top troll, but this reeks of trying just a little too hard.

 

”It represents a weapon”? What weapon?

Option 5 - It’s just a name 

 

Yep, not offended at all but I am not religious.

And I am not offended by a fleur-de-lis either.

 

Glad camp starts in 2 days.

Where is the option for "no I don't feel offended by this, and will laugh at anyone who's life is so boring that they feel the need to protest nfl team names and promptly tell them to get a job"?

Fun fact about the Saints. They are the only team in professional sports that doesn’t have the trademark for their logo. They only own the color scheme. 

Interesting, I wonder why they did that?
