CINCINNATI (Cincy Jungle) - A Change.org petition has been created asking the Cincinnati Bengals to change their name to the Cincinnati "Harambes."

Harambe was the gorilla who was shot and killed after a young boy climbed into his pen at the Cincinnati Zoo, sparking outrage.

Oh yes, do it for the children.

no

With so many African Americans on the team, wouldn’t this be racist? Or is this just satire?

[Karliner]

Is this satyr? I’m willing to bet calling someone a Cincy Gorilla would be racist.

[Boogieman]

Cincinnati Harambes just doesn’t sound right. Now, Cincinnati Silverbacks, that has a nice right to it.

[WENDLE]

Asa “Rome” freakin burns. What tripe.

[moovova]

The Magillas.

[Karliner]

drat beat me to the punch!

Don’t people have other, more important priorities? Maybe people have to much time on their hands? Maybe certain people are just insane?

Will the team cheer be “Ooga-Ooga”?

“Don’t people have other, more important priorities?”

No, they are idiots.

Name the team Kwanzai......or Festivus

Boohoo. An animal was killed to keep from mauling a little boy. Something wrong with these people. I saw the video on the news, the so noble gorilla was dragging the boy around the cement. Some argue he was trying to protect the child. With just an ounce of commonsense, they would also figure that such strength could easily kill the kid if even unintentionally. Waaaah.

Special species alert! Dumb gorillas good; human child not.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Name it Magilla

[ManHunter]

God, my brain hurts...

[Kozak]

Perfect name for the Bengals.
