Any single person?? I get offended by billboards that atheists put up so should they not be allowed to put those boards up? I'm sure we can find someone who is offended by the term or mascot of the fighting Irish or the celtics. Should they change as well?

There were people in Richmond offended by Baltimore deciding on The Ravens because both Richmond and Baltimore claim Poe as a son of their city.

What about overly tall people and the NY Giants?
Cornhuskers....
Canucks
Huskies, what do fat people think about that name?

You can't make a sanitized name. It's a fool's errand to try. If you do mange it, somebody 20 years will decide that's a slur too.

Not so fast.The do indeed have the authority. The Civil Rights Movement tells us they can. Congress can enact social change if they deem it necessary to the country's future but it still must go through normal legislative process to be ratified.

The 3 branches of government and the Supreme Court are designed so as to not let any one social issue pass with ease so as to maintain a societal balance. Issues that become so powerful though will pass all branches and the Supreme Court and become law. History has shown us this.

However that was a character issue as well since he was a public figure at the school and was cheating on his wife. NoBody cares except that he represented the school so his poor judgement reflects on the school. So not exactly the same at all.

I'm really excited to see him play on Worsham Field. I like how he looks to understand the game well at this stage in his career. Glad you pointed out that he's a good communicator too, should be a huge plus on the field. And i would think that our fine coaches will ingrain in him the wrapping up part, In Bud we trust my friends.

I don't think anyone thinks it isn't real. But who cares who he chooses to have sex with? He can do what he pleases. I'm not saying that he shouldn't have told his team if that's what he felt he needed to do but who cares if he is gay and plays football? Why is it news?

So, we have athletic fullbacks that can run to go with lead blocking? Bring back the fullback trap please.

TWC (and subsequently weather.com) is the last place I go to get meaningful weather data. Meaning I pretty much never go there.

Weather.gov is the site of the National Weather Service, run by the government. There is much less conflict of interest, as it isn't interested in profits. They don't have the forecasts as far out as weather.com, but this is for good reason, as the models are unreliable at best any more than 3 days out.

What do you advocate regarding the Fighting Irish and their mascot then?

I have a friend that lives in Washington and thinks football is a fine indicator of what's wrong in the world. She's offended that her city has a football team using it's name and wants it changed because she doesn't want to be forced to be associates with it.

Again, no way to prevent people from being offended about anything so, just drop it and it'll go away on it's own.
