The Essendon football club in Australia is actively considering replacing the bomber aircraft it has used as a logo in various forms since World War II.
A research project is now underway seeking to determine how the club’s members and stakeholders view the team in light of modern sensitivities.
According to the Herald Sun newspaper, Essendon wants to know whether its fans believe the wartime aircraft logo is the best representation of the Melbourne suburban club that plays in the national Australian Football League.

Just rename the team 'The Essendon Trans-Pansy Poofters'.
Problem solved.

Essendon doesn’t want to bomb anymore I guess.

I’m surprised the team name lasted this long.
They kicked ROTC off campus.
They ignore the Lutheran church history.

in light of modern sensitivities LOL. If we're talking about conforming to modern sensitivities, then disband the team. The very idea of football of any type is violence.

What happened to Australia? They are the home of Chopper Jones of HTFU fame (I know it was a parody but…).
Their exploits against the Japanese in PNG during WWII are legendary. They actually performed insane bayonet charges against the Js. The Js thought the Aussies, heck, all the ANZACs were crazy AF.
And now what? A nation of Poofters.
(So are we for the most part, with only the bitter clingers keeping us from full scale emasculation. Signed, a Washington um Commanders fan).
We are so screwed…

When hospital staff ask for my birth date, I get perverse enjoyment by adding, “When I was born, my Dad was dropping bombs on the Japanese”.
Younger nurses say, “Oh no!”
