They attack everything even vaguely traditional, to replace it with their own Marxist version.

In Idaho we call potatoes, “spuds”.
So I guess the team name would be, “The Idaho Spuds”.
Has a nice ring, no?

Watch the Rangers collapse without a fight.That's just what I told my wife this morning.
I'm guessing they are busy with focus groups trying out new names as we speak, (er, Post).

Funny thing about the Chiefs — they were named for the Mayor at the tine, H. Roe Bartle. His civilian job was full time Boy Scout District Executive. He founded the honorary scouting camping society, The Tribe of Mic-O-Say and his tribal name was Chief Bartle.
Lamar Hunt told the story of the name selection a number of times.

The CSA history/Southern culture and monuments to the same were the first line of defense against PC run amok. Now the first line had fallen. Has your ox been gored yet?

This makes very little sense to me, I don't see how their effective actions against Mexican and native mayhem can be deemed racist, but then I don't know how the police can be deemed racist based on infrequent actions of individuals either. Still, in deference to our friends south of the Rio Grande I suppose we could adopt their name, Los Diablos Tejanos.
Not to cast dispersions on the Washington Post or their editorialist Karen Attiah, but I can't help but I can't help but wonder if she's confusing them with Terry's Texas Rangers, aka 8th Texas Cavalry which had former Rangers amongst their members but was a completely different unit.

I'm waiting for the Parris Island rename demand, named for a British Colonel who was a slaveholder.

Apparently in the 1950s the Cincinnati Reds had too much time on their hands.....from wiki
In April 1953, the Reds announced a preference to be called the “Redlegs”, saying that the name of the club had been “Red Stockings” and then “Redlegs”. A newspaper speculated that it was due to the developing political connotation of the word ‘red’ to mean Communism.
They eventually reverted back to Reds in the 60s.
