I think Karthik summed up this argument a while ago, if we have all accepted Chief Delphi as our online FIRST home, I can't see how anyone should have an issue with the Fighting Rednecks. I'm sure some of you out there cheer for the Washington Redskins, and many other professional and high school sports teams with names that could be seen as slightly racist/inappropriate.

Honestly guys don't change your name if you don't want to, there are people in FIRST who get a kick out of over-reacting to situations like this. But there are a lot more of us who don't care what your name is. Stop worrying about your name and have fun building your robot.
