Everybody's just gotta be butt hurt about something in today's society.

Nothing but whine whine whine, night and day. You offend me, that offends me, everything offends me. FFS when are people going to grow the fuck up and realise that everything in the world wasn't put there to personally insult them, their heritage, religion, morals, ethics, ethnicity and ego.

It's like living with 35 million 12 year olds.

I don't understand the headline. So if they only change their offensive name, can they still call themselves the Eskimos when the D is on the field? And what about Special Teams? Offence always gets the blame.

Hmmmm.something less offensibve... How about the Edmonton Bohunks.

This doesn't go far enough, what about Toronto? The Maple Leafs? Now that's improper English, it should be the Toronto Maple Leaves. Like OMG, right? With English being my first and only language I am offended. Like OMG, right? It's time people leaned to write properly.

What took them so long to be offended?


Besides, we're not calling the Inuit Eskimos, that's the team's name... shouldn't they be the ones offended?

I've always pronounced the name of that hockey team the "Make Believes"

Why such disparaging remarks against my team? I'll have you know that Toronto is the richest team in the NHL, that mean come playoffs your team will probably end up caddying for my team. In fact my team are so disciplined that their mantra is "practice make perfect" hence why the Maple leafs produce some of the best golfers in the NHL!

No they're not, didn't you hear that they fell to number 3? Right after the Rangers and the Habs.
