What do you all think?
I say leave it. I am so tired of Political correctness taking away the rights of people. It has been that way since 1932 and who are we to decide that it needs to be changed now.
If we are going to change it though I propose that we take on the Baseketball theory of naming teams and change all of the team names.

What are you talking about? I can only think of 2 modern day franchises that have or will be changing their name while NOT moving. The Washington Bullets became the Wizards and the Charlotte Hornets are becoming the Pelicans.
Meanwhile so many NBA teams that moved and should have changed their name, but did not. The Lakers moved from Minneapolis and didn't change there name. How many lakes are there in L.A.? Zero. How prevalent is Jazz in Utah? They moved to Utah from New Orleans where Jazz is huge.

Tek. Not Basketball The Movie Baseketball. Done by the South Park guys. It is hilarious. They name the teams after what the cities are all about.

Google BASEketball. Semi-pro has nothing on BASEketball. Although if you can't stand South Park steer clear.

I knew you werent talking about semi-pro. And I know what BASEketball is, I didn't notice how you spelled it in your first post.... Bad movie... but I do enjoy South Park.

Take a stop by my game thread for some forum fun!!!
NO... Ron Burkle (idk about the spelling of his name) is going to buy the team from the Maloofs' and keep them in Sac, not that I care about basketball that much anyway.... Burkle just owns my Pens so I know about it.
