My Dad's high school teams, he made all city in BB, were known as the Havelock "Engineers", the kind that blew the whisle on the train! In those days I doubt there was an aboriginal American in the bunch, or at least darn few of them. Lots of Swedes though, at least on the Burlington. That was in the same city whose "Urinal and Star" now thinks that team names are chosen to "dis" some group or other. The school no longer exists, having been consolidated into Lincoln Northeast. I suppose they think that Lincol East's "Spartans" is offensive to those of Greek heritage?

My kids all went to East. At least it's better than the Trojans. Too many jokes about the Trojan protection breaking down, busting through the Trojan defense...definitely offensive to Americans who practice safe sex.
