Looks as though the “Skins” are going to change things up.
Obviously different over here with “franchises” and that, but a massive deal.

I'm sure it will be much worse. There will be cries of "tradition" and "heritage" just like with the confederate flag.
Slightly off topic I see that the Little Mermaid is racist now

They’ll be after the Patriots next.
The Dallas Cowboys too. Endorsing violence against Indians.

This debate about the redskins happened a couple of years ago and there was such an outcry that in the end they left well alone. as I recall it wasn't the Indians getting upset the it was the PC Brigade getting faux outraged on their behalf.
And I'll bet it isn't the Indians now either.
Can see the reasoning from that change as FC was proper dodgy back then.Quote:
