The NCAA is making the University of Illinois change their nickname from the "Fighting Illini," even though there isn't and never has been a tribe named "Illini." Head-shaking stuff. Link.
The writer suggests that the "Fighting Iranians" might be acceptable. That got us thinking: This is a golden opportunity to come up with great nicknames that are colorful but not offensive to any minorities or animals. Maybe we'll try to copyright 'em somehow and then sell them to the schools for millions of dollars (or a six-pack of beer). A few starters:
The Drunken Dead White Men
The Copulating Cowherders
The Freds
The Hitting Hittites
The Rambling Racketeers
The SoB, Pope-Worshipping, Child Molesting Catholics (we're assuming Catholics aren't covered by the sensitivity test)
If you have any proposals, feel free to add them to the Kiosk.
