How dare you say that!

I’m surprised that no one has said anything about the Pro Team about 3 Hours south of Omaha. The Kansas City.....(don’t want to anger the PC Gods) so I won’t say the name. /sarc
This is so funny, but Libs can’t laugh at themselves. They just don’t get it.
The Cleveland Browns are named after a famous Negro boxer.
Surely that has to go....
Today what is satire is tomorrow’s law.
So what group is going to complain about the name of the Green Bay Packers?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Fudge Packers who run the White House?
Names (to which there are unlikely to objections from our government) for sports teams: CRACKERS, WHITEBREADS, and HONKIES.
LOL, glad I didn't have a mouth full of coffee...
Also the Fighting Irish name, which is both racist and encourages violence.

California Angels will likely be next anyway as the atheists show the greatest proclivity to sue.
