Yeah, I could 2 give ***** what they name sports teams. It's the fact that leagues want to pander to the minority. It has really shown itself with the NFL and ratings are in the basement. Adam Silver is the only commish with a pair and the NBA is thriving.
To address your 2nd paragraph, the left lost credibility because they whine about so many things. When you whine about everything, society stops listening.
I draw the line at Redskins though. It is a slur, and natives find it offensive. I am not ok with a team called the Jew Bastards either. And don't be an idiot, the NFL ratings decline is a variety of factors. This is not one of them. And your complaints should be mostly to Adam Silver. Banning Donald Sterling? He is PANDERING, I tells ya!
Your line drawing is subjective. What about the Atlanta Braves? NY Yankees? Could be offensive to Southerners.
Sterling was a bad owner, he was just looking for an excuse to shoot him.
NFL ratings declined due to terrible match ups more than anything. Imagine if it was a Philly vs. Jax SB? No one sans the gamblers would watch. Well gamblers, Philly fans and Jax fans. All 60 of them.
