"Seattle Kraken"

[unassuming]

The "Seattle Kraken" will be the name of new NHL Franchise.

A "Kraken" is a huge mythical octupus like sea creature.

I wrote to them several times and suggested "The Seattle Mandrills" be the name. I was once again ignored! I was going to suggest that they had a purple ass to their hockey pants.

I like the colours, the jerseys, and the logo, but the name has to be something else.

 

[Insidious Von]

Fitting since the biggest octopus in the world live of the Washington/BC coast. Obvious question of the day: will Liam Neeson get to drop the first puck?

 

[bazokajoe]

Do you think the name will offend the crackheads?

 

[Darts]

No doubt, there will be people offended by the name.

Seattle is protest city. Birthplace of the G8 protests. Protesting is their passion.

Dang was hoping for Foo Fighters...

 

[John Wick]

The press are already referring to their home arena as the 'Krack House'.

 

[Insidious Von]

Now they have to bring in Liam Neeson for opening night. Cheap CGI, Ray Harryhausen did it better.

Seattle is a shithole like portland. Nobody will want to play there and especially raise kids there. There's going to be constant unrest there.

Better than the Lightning.

Not even close. People love Seattle.

They're good family cities. Players will like it there.
The U.S. will get back to normal right after they finish building Trump's wall:

The whole U.S. "left coast" love to protest/demonstrate. Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Berkeley, etc. The "American Taliban" hails from Berkeley. Patty Hearst was kidnapped in Berkeley.

Wait. What? I thought this was the Sports Forum.

Wait. What? I thought this was the Sports Forum.

Actually, I was responding to comments by other TERB members. This is 2020, you can't separate sports from politics, racism and all the ills (real or imagined) of society.

Liam got cancelled last year or the year before that when he made that idiotic statement about feeling like going out to kill a black guy after a friend of his got raped by one 30 years ago or something like that. He's done.
