Name Changes Needed!
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. |

since I like hockey, i'll take on the NHL:
Anaheim Ducks Boston Bruins Buffalo Sabres - weapon, gotta go. Calgary Flames Carolina Hurricanes Chicago Blackhawks - black, gotta go Colorado Avalanche Columbus Blue Jackets Dallas Stars Detroit Red Wings Edmonton Oilers - oil bad, gotta go Florida Panthers Los Angeles Kings - kings? we shot King George's soldiers, we don't have a king, gotta go Minnesota Wild Montreal Canadiens - it's Canada, they get a pass, they are so polite Nashville Predators - predator? really? gotta go. New Jersey Devils - gotta go New York Islanders New York Rangers - see also the Texas Rangers baseball team, gotta go Ottawa Senators - if not Canada, it would have to go Philadelphia Flyers - planes bad, gotta go Phoenix Coyotes - scavengers, gotta go Pittsburgh Penguins Saint Louis Blues San Jose Sharks Tampa Bay Lighting Toronto Maple Leafs - part of a tree, and it's Canada, it can stay Vancouver Canucks - ok, this one can't survive Washington Capitals Winnipeg Jets - see Flyers above, Jets/Planes, all bad, gotta go. no charge. |

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.... |
