I expect the PETA folks will eventually want to get rid of animal team nicknames.

If we accept the premise that nicknames are offensive, that the Indian nicknames are offensive to Indians, then it stands to reason that animal nicknames are offensive to the animals.

So, in this case, if we are to be good liberals, and have intellectual honesty in this matter, we also need to protest any animal nicknames as offensive to the animal in question.

Then fast forward 10 years, and they’ll want to change the “Washington” part, because George Washington was a slave owner.

‘stands to reason’ and ‘intellectual honesty’ mean nothing to ‘good liberals’.

Inconsistency and hypocrisy are 2 tenets of their faith.
