Actual people shouldn't have any such "right" to have their feelings be respected, especially when the costs involved in doing so are so high (new uniforms, logo stationery, souvenirs, to say nothing of the heritage of fan identification). Especially if a name such as "Indians" can hardly be called disrespectful, and was never intended to be. If such a "right" can be said to exist, then I demand that the posters on this and every other board stop twisting themselves in knots trying to come up combinations of singular and plural pronouns which make grammatical sense. My sixth grade teacher, were she still alive, would be insulted in the extreme to find that her years of careful teaching the importance of clarity in communication had been buried under such nonsensical attempts at satisfying whiners with a forum. It's a bald-faced attempt to hijack the language, and should never have been tolerated. I bet the name Redskins as used by the Team Formerly Known As is copyrighted, and should have been respected as such.
I'm not sure what the "name the city" sentence referred to, but I guess you meant Cleveland (baseball) and Washington (foo'ball). As a Yankee fan of 70 years standing, I of course have nothing but contempt for Cleveland, and as a fan of sports generally, I feel the same way about the 'Skins.
What "literature" is being "sanitized". Guess I missed that.
Wood; you need to read the news more! Not to speak for jmjgt, but I think he was asking for any town that had ever named its teams The Kikes or The Krauts. it's easy to toss those out for examples, but they aren't good examples because it is just a hypothetical. And Florida is the answer to the question "where is literature being sanitized", though elsewhere, too. Football teams would barely need to change their uniforms at all! As it is, even college teams pull out different jersey's throughout the season. The jersey rarely says the name of the team. Compared to other costs for running a team, it's not that pricey to change names. I'm not sure what you are referring to in Florida, but then, you are correct in that I rarely read "news", and haven't watched any on TV since, well, ever. Going on 81 years with a clean mind in a decrepit body. I do read copious amounts of history, though. Given the current surge in anti-semitism, especially in Europe, I've been concentrating on WWII Germany and the Holocaust.
Y'know, I think before we turn off a lot of other members, even though there's not much certain of really happening now in the world of F1, we might consider taking this and similar discussions to the F1 Lounge before the mods tell us we have to.
I love this kind of discussion, but I feel a bit restricted on the Gilles Villeneuve Board.

Thank You If you or anyone starts a thread on the lounge the relevant posts can be moved there.

All I want to know is if the seat is further back for Lewis.

So, anyone else notice that Windsor only did deep dives into the two teams a certain someone has been associated with recently?
