How stupid have we become? Read above.

Soooooooo, in being with silly politically correctness, I would guess Cleveland Indians, The Fighting Irish, New Orleans Saints, UNO Privateers and countless other teams' names would have to change.

Yes, you may ask why I mentioned The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame and UNO Privateers?

Well, can people of Irish descent be not associated with always fighting. Rough, tumble, fighting, down on their luck Irish.

Pirates were very bad , very bad men. Blackbeard and our very own Jean Lafitteand ...etc.
Jean Lafitte Nat. Park and Lafitte , LA must go for name change too I guess.

STOP THE MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As it's been noted every time this sort of reply is given on the topic, none of the nicknames you describe are racial slurs, not even "fighting Irish".
