I'm upset with the Maple "Leafs".
To start, vegetation/plants are living things that deserve to speak for themselves as to whom they want to represent.
And to have completely wrong grammar (Leaves) is terribly insulting.

Rob Manfred MLB commissioner will speak to Cleveland owner about changing the name or logo after the world series.
I personally think it's PC gone wild. No team should change their name or logo maybe with the exception of the Redskins. That is a derogatory name for native people. If I was native Indian I'd actually take it as a badge of honour that a team would want a nickname like Indians, Braves or Blackhawks.
Update on the Atlanta Braves.
Rob Manfred: MLB commissioner defends Braves' tomahawk chop, name - Sports Illustrated
Not a prediction but I hope the Braves beat the Astros (bunch of cheaters).
OK...but why do the Montreal Canadiens fans take pride in their name when they don't want to be in Canada?
I'd put the Sabres into a similar category as the Bullets. An instrument of death.

Man I was watching the game last night and talking to my lady friend on the phone and telling her about the tomahawk chop and what the fans were doing at the game.
LOL I was wondering how the Lefty crowd was going to attempt to stop an entire stadium........I'm sure it's bothering them something fierce.
As for Alex Anthopoulos and the Braves winning the fall classic. Nothing could please me more. Always liked his go for broke style. What did they say last night. 40 out of 46 teams that have been up 3-1 have gone on to win the the World Series.
Colour me an Astro hater......I know every team cheats but they took it to a different level and got away with it. I do recognize they are a talented organization though. No disputing that and I'm sure that they could have got the same results without the shenanigan's. But still.....
Will politics follow course and ban the name republican as it is synonymous with hatred bigotry lying deception and child molestation? Just asking for a friend
Oh, man. I know that this is the sports forum, but you nailed it.
Isn't there a Dems vs. Repugs baseball game every year?
I think so. Donnie didn’t okay because of bone spurs but hit 100 home runs anyway. It’s
I'm pissed that the Edmonton football club changed their name to the generic Elk. What's wrong with the Edmonton Eclairs, desserts deserve recognition as well.
The Toronto Maple Leafs should be changed to the Toronto Marzipans.

How about the Toronto Mallomars? They're as soft as marshmallow once the playoffs start.
Let's give dessert it's due.
If the Phoenix Coyotes move to Quebec City, they should be called the Quebec Macerons.

Great for Alex for winning the World Series. The first Canadian to GM a team to the Championship. A truly great accomplishment.

Or Vikings. They were real people. And Celtics. And Spartans. And Trojans. And Vandals. And "fighting" Irish (vs "pacifist" Irish). Just like Aztecs, Seminoles, Chippewas, Fighting Sioux.
