Re: pic: The Fighting Rednecks

At the end of the day, I really don't care if what name is chosen. The team will make their decisions and live with the results, both positive and negative.

Where this runs off the rails for me is dragging all this Chief and wrangler stuff into the discussion.

For years a portrait of Chief Pontiac hung in GM dealerships, but no more. I'm not sure why but I always considered it a tribute to Chief Pontiac, not a racist insult.

I'm from the east coast and don't know any wranglers, but in my eyes hollywood has glorified cowboys and wranglers in general, and demonized rednecks.

Even though I don't agree, if the team wants to tryout their original proposal, go for it. And good luck...
