You're taking that COMPLETELY out of context, and in a very irrational way.

People executed in the US got there as a result of the due process of law, laws created by a publicly elected body, and only for very serious and heinous crimes.

The inquisition executed people for their beliefs, on top of enforcing incredibly repressive laws.

I would not object to a team naming itself "Team America" because of the significant moral difference.
