yea... im not racist but if i ran into an arena team with this name (which i have) im pretty sure my partner and i would just laugh (which we did), and he's, i'll be PC here, african-american. he thought it was hilirious and not offensive at all.

i also think that making such a big deal out of something like this just gives the racists out there validation that what they are doing affects someone in a negative manner. i just ignore ignorant people.
