Sometimes you have to dig pretty deep to come up with something to be outraged about

There next mascot should be someone dressed up like Hillary Clinton.

Then, they could be “The Long Beach Losers”.

There are no “indigenous peoples”. Everyone is a visitor.

Those, who claim “indigenous peoples” status today, are liars. They are moderns spewing cultural Marxism.

So are the San Francisco “49ers” next.

Maybe they should just add 20 to their number, it would be more appropriate for that city.

Cultural genocide.

Absolutely right.

If you have no past, you have no identity, no sense of place.
If you don’t have that, then the present can be what ever
those who control the past say it is.

In this case it’s red man good, white man bad.
Orange man really bad.

Announcers are going to have to learn a new way. The Long Beach team, the Kansas City team, the Dallas team. Is team an acceptable moniker??? That might be a little to AMWAY for some.

For their next mascot, I would suggesta white guy who is hiding under a bed. They could call him ‘Surrender Sam’.

Since they are now in San Jose, they should drop the SF portion of their name.

Perhaps the Silicon Valley Wafers...

To surmount the problem, the Washington Redskins, due to the unsavory associations with the team name, are going to change the organization’s name to the Andover Redskins.

I recommend “Sphincter Phil.” Or “Rectum Rex.”
