"F--K Political Correctness", while I willingly censor myself for fear of challenging the status quo. And any comparison you're attempting to draw between Irish immigrants, and a cililization that experienced the largest genocide in history seem somewhat ill fated. I'm not saying I'm in support of changing the team name, but let's not beat around the bush for fear of licking the tush. It is an antiquated racial slur.
