In the future all teams will be named after shades of medium gray.
Gauntlet gray is out because it is too dark and a "gauntlet" might scare some people.

Smithsonian historians estimate 1 in 4 cowboys were black, which isn’t most, but is not insignificant.

But “Dorian Gray” never fades or stains.
There is a paint swatch in the attic that does it instead.

At the very least its sexist. The name might have survived had it been cowperson.
Oh, wait. That wont work either. Some vegetarian might get offended. This is tougher than I thought it would be. Maybe they should just call themselves The Pascack Hills People.

Attendance to these games may go down. No one is going to make money scalping these tickets.

I'm reminded of the USFL team in San Antonio named the Gunslingers. It was owned by a very politically liberal individual named Clinton Manges. Imagine that nickname today?

I was wondering when the Dallas Cowboys were going to be targeted. Maybe not in the too distant future. I know this article is about high school teams but you’ve got to expand to to EVERY team with an “offensive” sounding name.

I get triggered by the NY Yankees. They have to change their name.
