Why isn't the name Boston "Celtics" considered racist?

If the Redskins change their name, shouldn't the Celtics change their name to something like Chowderheads.

Cowboys is sexist. Giants is offensive to people of height. Patriots is representative of a time when evil white males ruled America. /sarc.

Lee Corso did a Seminole dance earlier today. Be prepared.

Someone needs to put a spear into Will Muschamp...God he sucks.

In today’s English, it’s pronounced Kelt. It may once have been differently pronounced but most words were pronounced differently long ago. To quote Blake (from memory, so...)

“A horse misued upon the road
Calls to heaven for human blood”

That rhymed 200 years ago.

"Change the name to Red’sKins. Use the apostrophe. Say it is in honor of the family of someone named Red."

LOL.

How 'bout da Washington Bros..I mean last time I checked the team was 95% bros.

Sounds appro-bro to me.

What about redskin potatoes?

What about really badly sunburned Celtics?

BTW, while switching channels I happened on David Letterman’s show just as he was making fun of a man’s skin color Of course, no outrage since he referred to a white person, Rep. Boehner.

Not to quibble but I have always considered Letterman and humor to be an oxymoron.

QB looked shaky last week. I didn’t see this week’s game. AUB-TXAM is a good game, last minute or so now.

Another SEC shootout, and Muschamp is still trying to play “three yards and a cloud of dust” like it’s the Big 10.

CHIEFS
Definitely a ‘slam’ on USN CPO’s if the team is particulary bad.

BRAVES
an affront to ALL the cowards.

DODGERS
an affront to all people who stand their ground.

YANKEES
an affront to Southerners.

METS
an affront to Country Music Fans.

etc etc etc

Did Missouri run the opening kick for a TD?

No they scored on the second play from scrimmage, and it was all downhill from there.

BTW Missouri started a Freshman, in his first game.

Gee, Muschamp, what’s your excuse?

Auburn Wins!

The Iron Bowl is going to be very interesting this year.

I hope Jeremy Foley is watching Auburn and realizes that good things can happen after you fire a bad head coach.

He just can’t flat out head coach. He may be a great coordinator. But those don’t necessarily make for good head coaches...Texas can have him back.

It’s ridiculous that a program like Florida, twice, has hired head coaches with no previous head coaching experience, in Zook and Muschamp.

The World’s Largest Cocktail Party will still be fun but two losers today.

McCarron is a good QB, doesn’t get enough credit.

I think Florida wins one more game this year, against Georgia Southern, maybe.

He seems a wreck at times. Central Florida is building a good program, too.

How do you pronounce celery?

Keltic is new as of about 30 years ago, Seltic is the proper English pronunciation.
