Next team in the name-change crosshairs should be the Minnesota Vikings.

I am a loyal fan of their football team. However, as a peaceful and loving Scandinavian, I am OUTRAGED at their continued portrayal of Nordics as ferocious and violent. It is time to change the name to a non-personal identifier that represents the region in a properly woke manner. Perhaps we could call them the Minnesota Snowflakes.

Yankees might be on the cancel list too. 

Let's just cancel them all and relabel them Team 1, Team 2, and so on.  Although a non-binary system might be more sensitive for some.

This is great until the enemy within comes there and starts trouble with the tribe. Give them time to destroy the relationship.

How about we get rid of the "Fighting Irish?"

Bezos has Lost it. He thinks he can buy the love and adoration of the communist party, but they will always despise him and will cut his head off at their first opportunity.

Just like the communists have done to their middle and upper class supporters in every one of their revolutions worldwide.

Every one.

They could call them the Normans. After all it was those Scandinavian North/Norse men who ran a protection racket on the Franks offering to be their guardians in exchange for all their prime coastal areas that became Normandy. It was those same Norman guys who went to England to protect them from the evil German Saxons. The fact the guys name was William the Conqueror was just a coincidence.
