Oh, get over it!....Like I mentioned before, these team names have existed for decades....and now all of a sudden it's a problem because a minority of these nutless journalists, politicians and radical activist groups open their pie holes.....Some people really do need to get a real job...and a life to boot....

The last time I looked, a remnant of the rebel flag is still embedded in at least one southern state's flag....So much for that "inevitable change"........[;)]......
