With all the furor over sports team names and renaming, I have noticed a couple of teams which have not been mentioned. The Braves, Indians, the Clan, the Chiefs, the Eskimos, these are teams which are being pressured to change their names. Why has no one mentioned the Boston Celtics? Could it be because people of Celtic extraction are not chronic whiners? The Minnesota Vikings have also, so far, avoided any such controversy. Are Scandinavians also missing the whining gene? The only thing these groups have in common is not their history. Historically they were bitter enemies and Vikings slaughtered wagon loads of Celts. There must be a common denominator. Anyone know what it might be? GD

The Orlando magic should change its name
And there are no Lakes in L.A. there are however, tar pits.

Television and radio are most effective when people question little and think even less.

What about the Cleveland "Browns?" Browns?
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

I would just as soon see all (extravagantly overpaid) pro sports just wither up, die & blow away.
All the name BS is just that, so much BS.........................I can't even give it a passing thought anymore.

There is something I don't understand about this but I don't watch ballgames anyway. What is the insult to an Indian or anyone else as a result of having a sports team named after them? It seems it should be an honor.
