Ninh explains The worst sports teams names in history. There are some sports teams that are named after ridiculous, non-sensical, non-threatening, or just borderline racist names. When your team is called the ‘Banana Slugs’ or the ‘Fighting Artichokes’, you know you’re going to be the prime target for abuse.

There's a MLS team called the Chicago Fire. Basically they named their team after the worst disaster ever to happen to the city. It would be as if there was a professional sports team called the New Orleans Katrina, or the Boston Massacre, or the Oklahoma Bomber, or the San Francisco Earthquake, or the Los Angeles Riot, or the New York Jets...oh.

The last time anyone conducted a poll to actually ask the indigenous peoples of the USA what they'd prefer to be called, in 1995, a plurality of nearly 50% answered "American Indian". The term "Native American" was invented by US government statisticians in the 1970s, to standardise the terms for "natives" of Hawaii, Samoa, or mainland America. They chose 'native' because it was short enough to fit on any chart.

(Translates roughly as: "Never Give Up Always Persist Pleasant Through Entertainment And Useful through Recreation Combined Breda". Breda is the name of the town) It's a merge or combination ("combinatie) of two clubs: "Nooit Opgeven Altijd Doorgaan" and "Aangenaam Door Vermaak En Nuttig Door Ontspanning" You'll find them currently in the Jupiler League (= "eerste" division, actually the second league ) as NAC.

The Artichokes was a protest. I went to Scottsdale community. A few years back. K...Back in the 70’s the school was predominantly an arts school. A new director came aboard and wanted to cut the art programs to build a football team. Naturally, students were pissed their arts classes were gonna get cut for a sports team. There were a bunch of protests, but the director went with it anyways. They held votes to pick the team mascot, things like the bears, the sharks, etc., and left a few spaces to write in your own mascots. Kids just wrote down the dumbest thing they could think of and thus Artie the Artichoke was born. I love our mascot.

They say that the name of the Toronto Raptors (NBA basketball) was chosen only because at the time the franchise was first awarded the most popular movie in theatres was Jurassic Park.

No doubt it was this, more than anything else, that inspired the name that was finally retained.

Anthony Lacey "Notre dame fighting Irish is also a name stepped in derogatory historical stereotype " The official explanation is that they are named because of the Irish Brigade, a division that fought for the Union in the American Civil War. A president of Notre Dame was a chaplain for the division. Unless one considers fighting for the side that ended slavery a derogatory historical stereotype, most Irish-Americans have embraced the term.

Minor correction, among most Native Americans "Indian" isn't considered a racial slur. Some have embraced the term (ie, the American Indian Movement, National Congress of American Indians, etc). They claim it didn't come from a misidentification of their land as India, but rather is a corruption of the Spanish "en dios", meaning "of God" refering to their spirituality. It's complicated: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_name_controversy But yeah, the Cleveland Indians is still a really stupid name and the racist logo doesn't help.
@NinhLyUK
@NinhLyUK 9 років тому
kissfan7 I always questioned their use of the word 'Indian' in their official titles, as that kinda enforces the stereotype. But I suppose its like the Netherlands calling themselves 'Holland' to Americans because otherwise they won't know what that is. Cleveland Indians have done away with Chief Wahoo of sorts, but people still don't like it. Whatever you call your team - someone will have a problem with it ...
@kissfan7
@kissfan7 9 років тому
Ninh Ly Cleveland hasn't entirely done away with Chief Wahoo. They increasingly use a different logo on their caps (a big red 'C'), but they haven't officially retired Chief Wahoo. They still use it on some games and it's still on the website. I think this is a slow process of weening off the logo instead of getting rid of it in one swoop and pissing off the stupid fans who don't like any change. I hope so, because I'm from Cleveland and love baseball. Because of the racism, I switched to the Red Sox (speaking of silly names) when I was a kid. If Cleveland changes the name they may be my second favorite team.
@NinhLyUK
@NinhLyUK 9 років тому
kissfan7 Wow, I didn't know that? I assumed that because they don't use it on hats (and that I've not seen it recently), they retired him due to public outcry ... obviously not!
