The use and meaning of words change over time, what's harmless today might not be down the road. Redtails sounds harmless enough today, who knows down the line. I know it sounds crazy but I'd guarantee that's part of their thinking.

Some of us, well probably only myself it seems, are not as sanguine.

You may be right about their thinking, but it seems to me that people need to start behaving like adults again. Were someone to state that Redhawks or even Redtails of all things was racist, then that would be time for Snyder or anyone else including you and I to stand up and tell the malcontent to grow up and cease the delusional thinking.

I am warming to the idea of Red Scare, because these last few years have an eerie similarity.
