Let's call the NHL team "Hanson"--after the greatest band of all time, easy.

How bout The Seattle Hansen Brothers?

 

[Subzero717]

And they can play mmmm bop every time they are on a power play. Yes!!!!!

I'm watching Slap Shot tonight, never seen it.

It'd be a good double feature with "Thug".

Whaaaaaaat??? Such a great flick!

And thinking more about it, renaming whatever hockey team that ends up here "The Chiefs" with the same logo would be a great reference to the Native culture, an all time great hockey movie, and a sly nod to Hansen because of the cult heroes in the film; The Hanson Bros (albeit different spelling)
DO IT SEATTLE!!!

If we named them The Chiefs, we'd have Native American groups accusing us of racism.

Huh? Why? Nobody's ever complained about the nfl's KC Chiefs. It's not a derogatory name. Why would anyone care and how is that racism? Did I miss something?

 

[dunceface]

Yeah I'm with Grubes on this one...

I think it was a very poor attempt at humor.

They're focusing their limited resources on the Redskns for now--that's just the beginning.

 

[dunceface]

So it wasnt humor? :hmmmm:

That's just stupid. "Redskins" is a derogatory term and was used as an insult. There is nothing insulting about "Chiefs" or "Totems" or anything else relating to native culture. The groups going after the redskins name will stop there.

No need to expound. I knew by your sadly failed attempt at sarcasm what you were getting at, long before you spelled it out. You're probably better off just letting it go.

And if you really don't understand the difference between "redskin" and "chief", take a drive to Browning, Montana, go into any indian bar, then offer to buy a round for all the "redskins". Hey, there's nothing wrong with that word right? So it shouldn't be a problem.

You should hear how I order drinks on MLK and 23rd.

 

[Scottemojo]

I have always found it is best to mention the free drinks right before dropping the slurs.
