Re: pic: The Fighting Rednecks

Im on that team. We all wanted to keep our name the way it was. Our teacher also didn't mind our name. However, as an FRC team we do not plan on changing our name for any of the next years to come. We decided that it would be a waste of time having this argument every year from now on, especially since the seniors would not have to deal with it.

That being said, about half our team consists of farmers. It was a farmer who thought of our original team name. We all supported it. I think it is petty for some people to try and bully us into changing our name. Congratulations, they got your wish. Our name was not meant to be offensive. People had to look pretty hard for it to be that way. People need to learn how to have fun instead of being so absolutely politically correct. I AM A REDNECK. PROUD TO BE SO.

p.s. we will be modifying our logo a bit so it does not infringe on any copyright laws, that argument actually had some merit to it.
