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

Can you use a word other than pathetic? Call me lame, goofy, asinine, dopey....but pathetic has been used three times now. Go to www.thesaurus.com

 

 

 

 

I recommend "bathetic."  Only a letter off, so it shouldn't present too much difficulty, and surprisingly applicable in the context.

I had my leg nearly bitten off by a Saint Bernard.....so YES, it is an offensive name.

 

Plus, Saint Bernards carry a keg of brandy around their necks, which I'm pretty sure is a violation of the NFL personal conduct policy and worth a four game suspension.  So why the hell is New Orleans even allowed to take the field???

 

But really...someone tell me why the slavery connection isn't offensive.

Last time a team in New Orleans changed their name they chose the Pelicans so I'd be careful in getting rid of the name.  I don't want to play the New Orleans Flamingoes. 

Not true the last team name change was the minor league baseball team. They are now the New Orleans Baby Cakes and it is awesome!!

 

I voted for the Rougarou for the basketball team. The Pelicans were an old New Orleans baseball team. Benson wanted that name. Now, there is a boxing champ from here using the Rougarou nickname and he even wears the werewolf mask. I love it!!

That doesn't raise my level of confidence.  It weakens it.

Have they pilfered your Meadcoins? 

 

Why is it that I always picture Oakland Raiders players hoarding not real money, but those gold foil-wrapped chocolate coins?  Why is it that I think they're that dull?

Next time I am in your area I will give you a meadcoin 

Jets drop bombs

Giants step on people and squash them

Hope Fergy doesn’t decide to delete this thread ?
