[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1062569, member: 58362"] The really clever trick would have been not to have picked it in the first place. Their (then) strength coach is on record as saying that there were quite a few surprised / confused faces in the meeting when it was announced to the playing / support staff. I tend to agree with your point, it could have been spun as a rebrand to celebrate their local heritage and strengthen their already strong ties to the local community and businesses. If it was done before most people were aware of the objections to their cultural misapropriation, I think it would have been taken as positive by an overwhelming majority of fans. However, as I said, the opportunity to do this has passed, rendering this is wisdom in hindsight and as such is useless. My point was about how best to manage the current situation now that they have created a bigger problem by ignoring / denying it rather than nipping it in the bud. [/QUOTE]
