Your argument is that I can create a team, name them the Yellowskins, or Wops, or Chinks, Blackskins, etc and then tell whoever I just offended to suck it and grow up.
My points is most of these team names are probably at least 50 years old, some closer to 100. It was not a problem in the part so why worry about it now? They want someone to re-brand something that has been alive longer than most of the people complaining, you don't find that a little ridiculous?

Hey I'm offended, so you need to spend millions and millions of dollars to change something that has been around 70+ years.
