The Washington Post published an editorial today calling on the New England Patriots to change their team name due to its association with the United States of America.
The article called for the Patriots to change their team name immediately to something that doesn't imply they are proud of their country.
"The negative associations with the horrible country of America should be left in the past," the editorial board wrote. "This name is very offensive to austere religious scholars in other countries, liberals, and Canadians. We must call on the NFL to do better, to be better."
"They must change the name to something that signals that they are not proud to live in this country."
Suggestions for the new name included The New England Colonizers, The New England Oppressors, and The New England Sorry For Being Americans.
There was a time when I would have cared...
The Left wants complete confusion and everyone to Bow to their insane demands
This is satire. But still wouldn’t be surprised.
The sad thing is that if they really did demand this Bob Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, would cave.
Washington Post should change their name being named after a slave owner. I’m just sayin’
I demand that the Washington Post change their name t Washington Compost.
This actually happened with my Alma Mater. We were the Stony Brook Patriots and they changed the named to the SeaWolves. They said it was because the school was becoming D1 and they wanted a mascot but the left wing faculty definitely had a lot to do with it.
Satire today, reality tomorrow.
They almost had me on this one.
The Bee.
Thank you for not putting on the sarc tag!
First Bee post to get me rattle!!!
Loved it! Fun.
Please tell me there aren’t still FReepers who don’t know about the Babylon Bee...
Nothing is Satire with the Left
I mentioned this yesterday in the thread about a high school in Mass. with Rebels as the now defunct nickname.
The left is good at the “heads I win, tails you lose” game. A Minuteman mascot is glorifying a white man with a gun. An Indian warrior mascot is demeaning.
Crap. Glad I saw the link.
BB, you are way too good at this.
“Washington Post should change their name being named after a slave owner. I’m just sayin’”
Nevermind Washington. I’m more offended that they named the paper after a whipping “post”. /s
This is satire...for now.
My first thought reading this thread!
No worries!
The NFL is in a death spiral.
They won’t be around much longer.
