Sports teams

In the past, the names of sports teams have often been racist, sexist, and homophobic–promoting a culture of violence.

The Battling Bambis

The Howling Chihuahuas

The Feisty Fawns

The Gutsy Guppies

The Scrappy Hamsters

The Killer Kittens

The Spunky Puppies

The Terrible Turtles

The Raging Teddy Bears

The Rabid Bunny Rabbits

  3. They are wanting to change the name of the Washington Redskins as well. They suggested Redtales.

    This nation is a role into an absurdity that is so far beyond normal, that normal will become the absurd. Sad.
