LOL.
Yea? Well I throw a red card of BS to you on your claim. For example, why don't you run your "No PC Police" fantasy by the good folks at Mozilla who fired Brendan Eich for exercising his rights as a US Citizen
they tried the same thing in 1996 and a judge threw it out then just like they will throw it out now. this is about the 4th or 5th time that someone has tried to do this and they have all failed each and every time.
this just goes to show how far out of whack that America has come.
To me, the most important detail in this latest round is the Government deciding to rule by whim, rather than by law. If the government doesn't like you, they can remove you. That should alarm everyone.
What makes you think that it's no longer derogatory?
So, we can name a team the San Fransico Coolies in honor of the Chinese immigrants who arrived there in the 19th century?Because it is not a term that is used.
When wasa the last time you Heard somebody, anybody, refer to an Indian as a redskin?
This century? The last?
What makes you think it is still a derogatory term?

Can you stick to a topic just once?
Well for me not since I saw Peter Pan as a little girl. Although it never really struck me until I watched it again a couple years ago with my daughter.
She said that since the term, "Redskin", isn't used anymore, it is no longer derogatory. Well "Coolie" is not used anymore either. So, is it too no longer derogatory?

This should be fun. No one uses "Kraut" anymore either. Do you think the Americans and the Krauts will be the two teams to emerge out of the FIFA Group of Death?
I have never heard the term Coolie and it is not relevant to this conversation. Who is she by the way? I said that.
Nobody is talking about what to name a team today. I would think Kraut is still used.

That's what bothers me as well. I tried to say that to PoweRob last night but he thinks everyone is pissed at the 5 people who complained. They are irrelevant. The government overreach isn't.
There is no gvt overreach. They simply cancelled the registration. Think of it like a personalized license plate that no longer passes muster.
Sadly we will have to await the outcome of the trail to determine if this government overreach will be checked. I'm somewhat cynical about the outcome, placing very little faith in our courts system and even less in Washington DC, these days.That's what bothers me as well.

This point has always bugged me regarding this debate. You're right, nobody names a team with negative attributes in mind. When is the last time you saw the Seattle Sissies? Or, the Louisville Losers?Sports teams, whether school or pro, historically name their teams for something which is considered tough, strong, and able to fight. Teams using names such as redskins, warriors, or any other name which symbolizes Native Americans of old, is not an insult to them, but rather an observation that they are believed to have been mighty foes. I find it hard to believe that this is even an issue at all.
LOL.

Ok, there is the US Santa Cruz Banana Slugs, but consider the source.
You seem to be OK with this whole deal.
Is it OK for a government office to destroy a businesses financial future like this?
