It's inevitable that a name change will come to the Skins. Got both the white man and black man speaking for the Indians about it (they don't give one flat schidt about this) so it's sure to happen.
HOGS is a fun name too. Need some mascot ideas.

Those who call in false charges need to be prosecuted, like this woman.
And I'd be happy to see financial damages sought against bad cops (and their unions) who press charges that end up being thrown out in court.
… yup, but how often is and has the word of a white person just been accepted? What made this woman think she could get away with this?

Which is not, in any way, connected to the originals.

:D thanks for that. My son has one hanging in his room. It is a gift to all graduating players. One of the things this senior class missed.

Like anything, some do and some don’t. It’s a silly nickname. It’s time has passed.

The Clowns
The Savages
The Chinks
The Fighting Coons
The Arabs
The Wops
The Brown Squaws

The Washington Arabs or the The Fighting Coons would be good for co-branding campaigns with the Washington Nationals.
Was taking with a diehard fan who still lives in DC (Cleveland Park lifer) and we decided The Warriors would be fun and have the stadium all have coke bottles on their fingers clinking while the Jumbotron has the cut from the movie as intro:

Warriors come out and plaaaay!
Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold
Love my uncle, God rest his soul
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold
I left his dead ass there by the side of the road, yeah

This could have been done by run of the mill vandals. If this was done by FLP angry protesters they might want to bone up on their history. :lol:
They are all vandals.
I would hate to think that these particular vandals could be so stupid not to know who Fredrick Douglas was. I was under the impression that vandalizing and defacing statues was restricted to those that somehow or someway had negative symbolism? I guess it is just open season on all statues? :?
It seems like it might be some sort of retribution or payback.

Cyrus, , no joke.

We actually did discuss seeing if for a special event, like if they ever made a playoff game again, how much it would cost to bring the Rock in to do that. It’s in fact how The Rock developed his wrestling character, he’s said he modeled it after Cyrus.

And let’s be honest even the most bitter hateful people here have to love The Warriors.

Frkn great clip!

And then,when the crowd is all amped up, the kickoff can sail 20 out of the endzone and tv can cut to a 3 min commercial break in order to sell cheap beer and natural fiber laxatives. And when play resumes there can be two successive penalties, one for a false start and the next for a neutral zone infraction. So after 7+ min nothing entertaining has happened and Cyrus' moment is forgotten. Can't dig that.
If we need that extra push over the cliff, ya know what we do...eleven, exactly.

Question is who are the biggest threat to us like the Germanic hordes.
I just stumbled upon a video clip in my dvr cache of the riots at the G20 in Hamburg 3 years ago.
The black clad rioters were indistinguishable from the violent protesters we're seeing in our streets,
screaming & spitting in the faces of police in the US.
...not tolerated by the German riot police, wielding batons & water cannons.

We've just had areas in two major US cities seized by armed protesters who've killed innocent citizens,
while a homeowner in StL is being vilified & threatened with prosecution for defending his home when
protesters broke into his gated community, the same day looters murdered a retired police captain.

If support of the police is not re-established & civil order is not maintained, it will only get worse.
We don't need foreign hordes, we've been breeding & encouraging our own.
