Now I notice that there is a traveling rugby team from New Zealand going to be playing some games in the US soon - called the “Maori All Blacks” - apparently to belong you must have some blood relationship to the Maori tribe in NZ, which is sort of exclusionary and maybe racist in itself, but even of more concern is this “All Blacks” thingy, which although it apparently applies to the color of their shirts, still must be offensive to somebody or other somewhere in the country - we need an investigation by at least Holder and Sharpton......
In view of the above, names should no longer be used for sport teams in the USA, just numbers (except "odd" numbers, which are racist).
