Do you find the Saints logo/name offensive?  

36 members have voted

  1. 1. The name "Saints" is offensive to me because

    • It is a religious theme which has no part in the NFL
      6
    • It is a name that evokes violence and death
      8
    • It is a name that symbolizes a weapon
      6
    • I don't find it offensive but will stand behind anyone who is offended by it

It's a typical troll thread. The question asked was ridiculous so why take it seriously at all.

We get it! You are offended by the logo. Just go to bed and dream of buffalos and Packers. Let the adults work this out.

Do you find the name offensive and should New Orleans change the name of their team? Various possible responses    Is the name Saints related to religion which has no place in the NFL

Where is the option for "no I don't feel offended by this, and will laugh at anyone who's life is so boring that they feel the need to protest nfl team names and promptly tell them to get a job"?

Option 5 - It’s just a name

Right. Sorry, I'm just anxious to see what the Hell we got as a team this year and the last two weeks of threads have been tedious to say the least.

 

No worries at all, right there with you my friend.

Bathetic attempt at reconstructing your inconsistent viewpoint. 

 

Go login to your other account now and give us some more pathetic troll attempts. You aren't very good at this.

Buffalo Bill killed American Bisons.

Patriots killed Englishmen.

Ravens attacked humans.

Workers have died working in Steel mills.

Workers have died in accidents working as Packers.

Vikings raped and pillaged.

People have been thrown off Colts and died.

Broncos have stampeded and killed early Americans and native Americans.

49ers have murdered each other over gold claims.

People have been electrocuted(Chargers)

Raiders Buccaneers have killed many.

Cowboys have killed each other and Native Americans.

Redskins killed Cowboys.

Panthers Jaguars Lions Bears Bengals have killed humans.

Titans are killers.

Chiefs led braves in to battles killing others.

Texans killed Mexicans at the Alamo.

 

Meanwhile Saints are heavenly humans and the Fleur de lis used by New Orleans NFL team is paying homage to French Saints that used its imagery. French Saints used lily imagery and fleur de lis was adopted as a representational lily and used throughout France. And is on the city flag of New Orleans and all over New Orleans in many forms.

What’s your point? This doesn’t make me feel any less offended. In fact, now I’m really perturbed.

It's just another instance through which religion and politics have found their way into the NFL.

 

How many of these saints, so called, were part of the coverup/protection of the pedophiles that have destroyed the Catholic religion?

 

Penn State, anyone???!??

 

It IS offensive and it needs to go.  Period.

Penn State = Penn St. = Penn Saint. I see the connection clearly now.

The connection is there if you want to take your blinders off.  Just ask all the kids who Sandusky raped, like all the priests did/keep doing to other kids.

The Tampa Bay Rays were originally called the Devil Rays...not sure why they were forced to make the name change.

 

I lived in the area at the time. There was some complaint about the “devil’ aspect. I’m not sure how much impact that had in the decision, but it was a factor.

Nope, not one bit! I don't get offended by things. You know why? Because I am an actual adult and don't need to get my panties in a bunch over pointless things like sports team names. Being offended is just a persons inability to handle their own emotions. Sack up!

I dont find much of anything offensive. I've got far better things to do in my life than spend time crying about someone hurting my feelings or playing the victim.

 

That's life. Nobody hands out participation trophies or snowflake awards in life. Nobody gives a crap about you other than yourself, your family, your significant other and a few friends. Life can be cruel and harsh, and i choose to embrace that fact rather than try to run and hide from it because its too hard to deal with. In fact, probably the only thing I am offended by is other people being offended so much.

 

If I dont like it i won't support it simple as that.

 

Where is the 5th poll option that says "I am not offended and think people need to get a life, quit being pansies and stop being offended by everything"?  Oh...not there because someone might be offended I guess...sigh....

We get it! You think this is your playground. And you’re sick of 4chan or reddit or wherever you came from. I’ll mark you down as a troll and move along.

I am about as anti-religious as they come, but the name "Saints" is just a name. No need to be offended by it. It'd be like being offended over the Raiders or Bucs name because of what real pirates did in the past.

All of the above.

 

I'm highly offended now that you've pointed it out.

Thanks for pointing that out.

 

Those are irreconcilably offensive. The NFL needs to make the necessary changes.

The Arizona State University Sun Devils' mascot is literally a devil/demon figure.

 

It's disgustingly heathen.
