Re: pic: The Fighting Rednecks
Words have whatever meaning a person gives to them, and I don't even mean as a group, I mean as individuals. I personally choose to find nothing insulting, because it's just words. They have no more power than what you give them.
This is why, ultimately, it should be up to each team to collectively decide what meaning their name has. Our team is having similar discussions about our motto "Stopping our opponents cold." Some suggest it's not GP, others think it's all in good fun. IT all comes down to what meaning YOU give a set of words.
If team 2883 decides to stick with their new name, so be it, but I do hope it is because you honestly think it is a better decisions, and not because you've bowed to external pressures. Nothing in this world will ever change if people bow to outside pressure,
