They correctly changed the name of the Washington Senators, realizing that was an insult to every member of that baseball team.

Hyphenated ‘race’ and ‘cultural’ labels offend me (my cultural heritage can be equated to ‘Sopranos’).

The name you refer to is offensive to me because it is a proper name (but not as offensive as POTUS).

I prefer ‘Puppet’...

They just named a new bridge here with an Indian name; I’m think I have strong objections to it because it’s offensive to me (hypocritical liberals picked it)...

We need to nationalize Name Calling.
We’ll call it (if name recieves approved by the government) “OBAMACALL”

And personally, I am still offended that a horrible call helped the Royals steal the 1985 World Series from my beloved St. Louis Cardinals.

And Cardinal should be banned for 30 years of whining.

The "White House" - offends people of color.

The "Pentagon" - offends the mathematically challenged.

The "Democrat Party" - offends anyone with common sense.

Number one on this list SHOULD have been the Green Bay Packers, for very obvious reasons.

They're next, IMHO. You can't "offend" the most politically protected group going right now and get away with it when liberal tyrants are running the show.

Cleveland Browns, but no team with Whites? I’m offended!

You’ve probably all see the email going around about this topic. Funny! It ends with reference to female teams at one of the universities in Oregon. Ill let you all figure that one out. Lol!
