Well...

 

Considering the NFL team the Washington Redskins changed their name a few years ago to the Washington Commanders, i'd say no, probably not.

Just because some idiot corporation folded to the woke left and renamed their sports team doesn't mean that its now law to stop using those terms

 

But i guess we have all had to change our language...............What we used to call our local corner shop is now deeply offensive to the Pakistani community

 

I think even the abbreviated term for Chinese food is also deemed offensive too now....but i never heard anyone who the chinese community complain about it

And Cleveland Indians to Cleveland Guardians. All sounds a bit paternal to me.

 

And what about the Dallas Cowboys?

Can't see that happening (hopefully) - the franchise is too big and I can only imagine the backlash from most of the state of Texas!

The new NHL team is named the Seattle "Kraken", after some Scandinavian sea monster, I think.
