Do you find the "Saints" name/logo offensive?

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. 

 

Fun fact about New Orleans,

 

The LaLaurie estate used to have a human centipede torture attic.

I've never even been to New Orleans but I eventually want to go there.

I've done ghost tours in other cities.  The last one was in Savannah and I stayed in a "haunted room".  They did a Ghost Hunters episode in this same room.  Some girl killed herself in the room when she found out her lover died in the Civil War.  Nothing happened and I was enticing her to do something....I slept naked.

So the Saints and the Boy Scouts of America share the same logo. 

 

Is it just me or does anyone else find this not only offensive but historically discriminatory? The Saints logo is a derivation of a group’s logo that excludes rather than includes. This keeps getting worse.

Meanwhile Saints are heavenly humans and the Fleur de lis used by New Orleans NFL team is paying homage to French Saints that used its imagery. French Saints used lily imagery and fleur de lis was adopted as a representational lily and used throughout France. And is on the city flag of New Orleans and all over New Orleans in many forms.

Dolphins do too, they pick on sharks.

 

Falcons kill bunnies

 

Jets can crash... That's bad.

 

Rams, they lock horns and kill each other.

 

Giants, well they might be giants... They surely would have killed Jack for stealing his goose and sliding down the beanstalk

 

Browns bring disease and pestilence.

 

What do Cardinals do? They eat bird seed, look pretty and sing songs.

That's not a choice either.  Make your own poll.

Oh... Forgot about those Cardinals!  Some are pedophiles... Ooops...

[Sky Diver]

The "Browns"? That's highly offensive to people of color.

 

What if it was the Cleveland Pasty Whites. How would you like it?

Poop on my car. (This only for is the little cardinals that fly.) 

[Freddie's Dead]

Right up there with the offensiveness of God, Jesus Christ, or Mohammed.  For the OP, how about an option that it's not offensive at all?

No such thing as "not offended" without the caveat that you will support others who are offended.  If you aren't offended and leave others to suffer through their own offended psyche, then you're a cold hearted person who cares little for others or their individuality.  We have demonstrated that the Saints logo elicits feelings of intimidation, exclusion, slave branding, war and death - yet you choose to look the other way. Free your mind.

Well All Righty Then. 

And on that note...?

 

Methinks further discussion along these lines would be better taken to PPP
