"Then I guess you would have no trouble renaming any team that has "devil" in the name, given how that might offend some Christians?"

You do realize this has happened?

>Then I guess you would have no trouble renaming any team that has "devil" in the name, given how that might offend some Christians? Oh wait, the rules of PC doesn't apply to Christians ...

It's not just a matter of offending someone. How would you feel if a Japanese team named itself "The Koreans?"

>By the way, "strong scary figures" goes right along with the warrior gridiron thing.

>Why should that be offensive to anyone? Unless you prefer, for example, renaming the 49ers to the "San Francisco Poodles"?

Unless I'm mistaken, no one committed genocide against the 49ers...
