Lol, reminds of the MASH episode with Colonel Flagg...

Colonel Flagg:
This won’t look good on your record.

Frank Burns:
But Colonel, it’s just Reader’s Digest.

Colonel Flagg:
Not if you eliminate the third, fifth, and sixth letters, then it’s Red’s Digest, comrade.

I have only recently come across Tik Tok and because of the relationship to China. One clip I saw was of a 20-something white chick who was very anti-white. Among her screen phrases (or whatever the proper term) was “We steal from black culture every day.” Therefore, St. Louis Blues has to go. Blues music for a mostly white sport? The Tik Tok babe would be incensed.

Wouldn’t the Colt .45s name be subject to trademark infringement; either from Colt Arms or the malt liquor company.

Yes, there would have been trademark problems with using the Colt .45 name and images. I have heard that the team did not have official permission from the Colt firearms company to use that name, and that was part of the decision to change the name to Houston Astros.

You misunderstood my intent. I am to the point where I believe that these people have gone too damned far and it is time for them to feel our wrath.

I have had enough of their cheap sh*t.

Which would be historically accurate.
