Actually the Buffalo Bills were named after Buffalo Bill Cody (ya got to go back to the original Buffalo Bills in the AAFC). Now Buffalo Bill Cody was a KILLER of Indians (or so he spent the last half of his life claiming). I mean if we are going all PC and everything...

Um, they're obviously named after Buffalo Bill Cody, who was a man. That is precisely why I referred to it as being 'sexist' to these freakin' SJWs.

Actually and in fact, this issue did get some little bit of discussion the last few years. It hasn't generated much traction, though,
perhaps mainly because Cody hadn't been much researched by the original 1940s ownership group who probably thought of Cody
as a generic cowboy tough-guy character, and now also because many -- we'd daresay most -- Bills fans don't even connect Cody
with the team name. Hey, maybe we can disavow the Cody thing and associate "Buffalo Bill" with that guy from Silence of the Lambs...

Since these arguments are assinine (at best) we just need to pull the trigger on renaming all 30 teams. I suggest BBC1 thru BBC 30 and call it a day.

That oughta satisfy the woketards - well unless of course the pecking order comes into play - Why are the Yankees given the BBC1 monicar and the Marlins are BBC30???

All of these discussions make me want to throw up in my mouth (a little bit) - the entire country is falling apart BUT these are the MOST important issues of the day... FFS

and just what the hell is a Mudhen anyway?

The American coot (Fulica americana), also known as a mud hen or pouldeau, is a bird of the family Rallidae

"COOT"? Seriously?

Who said it's the most important issue? No one.

The owner of a private business changed the business's name (basically). Happens thousands of times a year, I would imagine. This is a non-issue but you seem to think it's a major deal. Why?

I think a return to their former name, 'Spiders', would be great. Here's a 2011 Topps Lineage of Cy Young (from eBay) and a Just So prototype for McAleer (from my pc).
