At some point the people need to speak up, or else we'd be doing the same stupid stuff for eternity. Culture's constantly evolve. This is just part of it.

The fact that others comment on it without any clue of it's origin is pretty sad. Can you point us to a document that supports your claim? 4 minutes ago, The Wiz said: 100% Polish. Love it.

How about if we call them the Dumb Polacks As a dumb polack, I welcome our teams new name change. Because it doesn't offend me. Also would have made for great game recap during the drought years. Chris Berman voice: well those dumb Polacks are at it again! Here they are in the 4th qtr with a 2 td lead and what happens, the Dumb Polacks throw 3 ints in a row and the Irish drunks take the game and ice it with a fresh pint of Guinness.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 I recall about 25 years ago, on a Saturday afternoon in October watched an SU Florida St game, heard the chant, Saturday and Sunday night baseball playoff game in Atlanta, same chant, Monday the Bills played the Chiefs in KC chant again. My wife finally says to me, "Does every team do this?" 1 Quote
GaryPinC Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 2 hours ago, Just in Atlanta said: Dictionary.com: RACIST: "a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others." Yeah. That's the old definition. The new definition is any racist, prejudiced or discriminatory thoughts, words or actions. I still can't believe the dictionaries haven't updated. I prefer the old definitions, but it's not reality. Everything is rolled into one, whether we like it or not. 53 minutes ago, The Wiz said: 100% Polish. Love it.

I get it with the evolution of culture but there's the tipping point of either some things are offensive or everything is offense. It will always end at "some things are offensive." Just like we've seen with sports team names. Redskins and Indians changed. Chiefs and Braves stay the same. As it should be. But you're not going to progress as a group without some stepping over the line. Quote
Nextmanup Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 I always found the "Tomahawk Chop" to be pretty cool when the entire stadium is doing it in Tallahassee. As far as I know, they invented it. Maybe that's wrong. I find it stupid when they copy it in KC. Quote

It's easily one of the weirdest sports team names. Like naming a team the "Jeffs" I will be starting a petition to rename the Bills to “the Jeffs” immediately. Best idea I’ve seen this evening at least. Edited October 12, 2021 by mcjeff215 Quote
