Saying that your home burning down is some kind of reason to want the Flames renamed in a thread about a racist name against a badly marginalized ethnic group is adding what exactly to this discussion?

Am I supposed to be impressed with your imagination to draw up increasingly ridiculous allegories to this issue at hand?

"Well we righted a wrong and changed a racist name but in the future someone might use this situation to make a ridiculous claim about another sports franchise name. Therefore nothing is without trade-offs. For the purpose of avoiding deeply offending native ethnic groups we might have to deal with some vainglorious morons in the future (that I've imagined up) so we should be aware of these costs. I guess we'll have to promptly ignore them if ever that happens."

Did I capture your point?
