Naomi - //By the way, I wish people here would stop claiming that anyone who has a moan is automatically 'outraged'. People can be a bit miffed without being 'outraged'.//

You're correct, as Tora isn't outraged about this. The term I should've used was "faux outrage".

[Mozz71]

Roy - //So we won't be seeing you on the next 'black American shot by white cop' thread, Mozz?//

Depends on how the thread goes. Although the act itself wouldn't affect me, in a dicussion thread, it's always good to, y'know, discuss.

[royfromaus]

roy, are you seriously comparing the shooting of a man to a rugby team's name and logo?
__________

No.

Why did you even suggest I Did?

[naomi24]

Perhaps you shouldn’t make assumptions about how miffed he is at all, mozz.

Naomi - //Perhaps you shouldn’t make assumptions about how miffed he is at all, mozz.//

If Tora, or anyone (myself included) vents their spleen in an internet forum, then that is open to public scrutiny.

[naomi24]

I know, mozz. I scrutinised. ;o)

[Mozz71]

You scrutineer, you. ☺

[naomi24]

Positively inscrutable.. :o)

[jno]

scrutineerquote[ess], Mozz, let's be having none of these woke gender-free job descriptions.

Is TTT going to read Corbyloon's link, I wonder.

[ToraToraTora]

who?

[THECORBYLOON]

Perhaps if someone else can re-post the link, TORATORATORA will be free to read it and post a response.

[jim360]

The link "TheCorbyLoon" posted at 17:06, directly answering your question at 16:52. In short -- yes, many Native Americans very much were offended by the former name of this team. It took them way too long to recognise this. Whatever the intent, it never came across as a compliment.

Fao Gramps.

I think when it comes to Corby, Tora has his fingers in his ears shouting "lalalala".

[youngmafbog]

Well you have certainly riled the usual left TTT. Quite amusing, well done !

[jim360]

Not riled, expect perhaps at the refusal to listen to the people you are, apparently, keen to admire. That might be regarded as a clear contradiction.

[THECORBYLOON]

Cheers, JIM!

I notice TORATORATORA hasn't bothered to remove GRAMPS' answer as BA, even though it's complete rubbish.

I’ve been a Saracens season ticket holder for more years than I can be bothered to remember…

I suspect it’s only a matter of time before some weak idiot takes offense at the name.
