[QUOTE="Peat, post: 810003, member: 42330"] As I said, dumb associations is part and parcel of sport, but that one is particularly dumb. Wasps, Harlequns, Tigers... neutral concepts. Chiefs? Well, that's a neutral concept in fairness, everywhere has chiefs. Native American chiefs in Exeter? Uhm. Its extra dumb. And I think its fair to have a grievance with an aesthetic caricature of one's culture. That you would choose not to have such a grievance doesn't mean others don't have a right to, particularly given the difference in esteem our culture is held in and their culture is held in. Could be worse though. Local ice hockey team to me is the Streatham Redskins. They even have a tom-tom at games. I'm not offended, but I don't half cringe. [/QUOTE]
