Another NFL name change?

[MdWIldcat55]

I guess this name change to address historic misdeeds is really gaining momentum. Here's one that actually makes sense.


DALLAS (AP) Citing more than three dozen serious acts of violence against women by current and former NFL players, hundreds of arrests for gun and drug crimes, and a pattern of what it called "unpatriotic behavior" a group that traces its heritage to American cowboys demanded the NFL team in this city change its name.

"We want our children to be proud of the legacy of the American Cowboy," said Delbert Neukirk, chairman of the American Cowboy History Association. "The players and culture of the NFL stain that legacy."

Neukirk, who said his great grandfather took part in several cattle drives in the 1880s, cited a data base compiled by USA Today that showed nearly a thousand crimes committed by NFL players in the past 20 years, many for assault and battery on women. "The American cowboy deserves a better role model than the NFL," he said.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones did not immediately comment on the demand.

Interesting point of view.

Are Cowboy rights any less valuable than Redskin rights? If we’re going down this rabbit hole then let’s go all the way. Any type of human identification should be banned.

The Tampa Bay Bucaneers have to go. Glorifying the life of a murdering pirate is not acceptable. Come on NFL lets clean house and do it right. The Kansas City Chiefs are another one that has to change. And how can we have an Arrowhead Stadium? And yes the Oakland Raiders glorify bad behavior too. We can go on and on. It is tragic how the NFL and other sports teams allowed this in the first place.

It is not 1920 it is 2020. We are a kinder, gentler nation.

I’m just glad I can call everyone a racist these days. It’s a good ice breaker

Patriots have to change too and so do the Jets. Do you know how much pollution a jet makes even on a short flight? NFL should not be glorifying polluters

I’ll cheer the first owner that tells the name change protesters to screw off.

Greendale got it right with its mascot -- the completely neutral Greendale Human Being. Best school mascot ever.

That’s the logical endpoint of all this insanity. I said it when the first rebel statue fell. There have never been perfect people.

Bunch of Beta Cucks running the show.

New York Giants - what about the little people?
New Orleans Saints - Offensive
Minnesota Vikings - were a violent bunch too
Cleveland Browns - Can't have this either
Houston Texans - Sounds racist to me
Tennessee Titans - were violent too

So dumb.

I say we force Pittsburgh to change. They are promoting theft with their name. Such lawlessness should not be praised.

Cleveland outright uses a skin tone as their moniker, and as if to add insult to injury, makes fun of brown people by using a small elvish mascot.

And dont get me started on Baltimore. Birds poop everywhere, and Ray Lewis killed a man.


Yes....I believe THOSE are some teams who need to have their names addressed.[smoke]

Nope! He's wearing white. Means he identifies as white, and you know what that means...racist!!

EDIT: I'm just messing around Jon. Not being serious at all.
