Name Changes Needed!

[ZipZap]

From west to east, what major sport pro teams will be changing names and/or symbolism...?

SD Padres - The mission system in CA displaced indigenous peoples or forced them into another religion.

CA Angels - Too religious; must change.

LA Dodgers - Named after the poor population that had to dodge the streetcars instead of riding them.

SF Giants - You're ok, I think. Unless non-Giants take offense.

Oakland A's - You all started as the "White Elephant". Gonna need a change

Only did CA baseball, but I'm sure there are a ton of others. Not even starting on football and college names. Head explodes....

Houston Astros - Cheated and need to retire their bad reputation.

Nothing to do with race, but they embarrassed me by cheating...and I can't wear any of my Astros stuff without feeling like a cheater.

At the risk of offending the "woke children", they're a bunch of ****ing cry-baby idiots. We Canucks are not the least be offended by the term "Canuck".

From west to east, what major sport pro teams will be changing names and/or symbolism...?

SD Padres - The mission system in CA displaced indigenous peoples or forced them into another religion. SD Single Mothers (for realism)

CA Angels - Too religious; must change. CA Agnostics (non-committal, non-offensive)

LA Dodgers - Named after the poor population that had to dodge the streetcars instead of riding them. LA Public Transporters (promotes public transportation instead of avoiding it

SF Giants - You're ok, I think. Unless non-Giants take offense. SF Medium Height/Medium Builds (attracts a non-larger audience)

Oakland A's - You all started as the "White Elephant". Gonna need a change Oakland Cs (More accepting for average students).

Only did CA baseball, but I'm sure there are a ton of others. Not even starting on football and college names. Head explodes....
