I remember hearing Dennis Prager talking about a caller to his show (some years ago) who was insulted by the "Indian" names for University sports teams. He challenged Prager by asking how he would feel if they named sports teams after his ethnic group.
He laughed and said that it would be the first time in history that people were rooting for the "Jews". "Go, Jews", "I'm a Jews fan", "I'm going to the game to root for the Jews". It was hysterical.
Oh, but lots of us have for years cheered “dem fightin’ Jews”.
Their official team name is the Israel Defense Force.
During the summer of 1967 I heard a redneck say, “Heck’s fire, man, it looks like those Jew-boys know how to fight!”
This was shortly after the Six Day War victory.
