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

Can you use a word other than pathetic? Call me lame, goofy, asinine, dopey....but pathetic has been used three times now. Go to www.thesaurus.com

 

 

 

 

I recommend "bathetic."  Only a letter off, so it shouldn't present too much difficulty, and surprisingly applicable in the context.

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

I had my leg nearly bitten off by a Saint Bernard.....so YES, it is an offensive name.

 

Plus, Saint Bernards carry a keg of brandy around their necks, which I'm pretty sure is a violation of the NFL personal conduct policy and worth a four game suspension.  So why the hell is New Orleans even allowed to take the field???

 

But really...someone tell me why the slavery connection isn't offensive.

Last time a team in New Orleans changed their name they chose the Pelicans so I'd be careful in getting rid of the name.  I don't want to play the New Orleans Flamingoes. 

Not true the last team name change was the minor league baseball team. They are now the New Orleans Baby Cakes and it is awesome!!

 

I voted for the Rougarou for the basketball team. The Pelicans were an old New Orleans baseball team. Benson wanted that name. Now, there is a boxing champ from here using the Rougarou nickname and he even wears the werewolf mask. I love it!!

That doesn't raise my level of confidence.  It weakens it.

Have they pilfered your Meadcoins? 

 

Why is it that I always picture Oakland Raiders players hoarding not real money, but those gold foil-wrapped chocolate coins?  Why is it that I think they're that dull?

So if you’re not a Saints fan, then you agree that their name/logo is offensive. Thanks. I’ll mark you down as response #2

 

Further proof of just how pathetic you are. Goodnight little one(s). Happy trolling to both of your accounts tonight. ;)

This is possibly the dumbest thread I've come across in many a year, and I've seen some beauties.

 

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

The religious angle is a fair question in these dull days, and if DC Tom is correct, it becomes far more interesting.
