You forgot Oregon and Illinois have Concordia's too.

As does NY.

There are Concordias all over the place. He was just clarifying one of the dozen or more Concordias out there.

So does Wisconsin. But the one in Portland closed up.

We'll be okay with our mythical creature, the Thunderwolf.

Looking forward to the Atlanta (fire) Crackers playing

Good one.........lol.

[Eagle74]

Good one.........lol.

"Looking forward to the Atlanta fleas playing" More appropriate for that dog bed.

[SW_Mustang]

Good one.........lol.

Bomani Jones had a Cleveland Caucasians shirt he wore on ESPN once.

He got the exact reaction he was hoping for.

[Eagle74]

LOL, If his reactions / intentions were to promote the t-shirts, well it definitely worked, because I hear that they're now selling like crazy, and not just around the Cleveland area.

Would that be too much of a reminder of Vick's dog fighting when he was in Atlanta?

Ouch!! You're right, can't go there. To make things an appropriate fit for the city and area, I wonder if the Chicago Bears would consider adopting Washington's (DC) old NBA mascot? ;)

The SNL skits would be changed, but I can see it working just as well as Da Bears.

He did this a few years ago. His goal was to offend people to highlight the hypocrisy - and it worked beautifully.

[Eagle74]

Funny thing is, from what I understand, the vast majority of fans in that area were not offended at all by the t-shirt, and I've been told they're still selling like crazy.
Him wearing it on national tv ended up promoting the t-shirts and really boosted sales. It wouldn't surprise me to see copycat t-shirts showing up in K.C, Atlanta, FSU, and other locations where a few people want to change things that the vast majority do not want changed.

I guess those who were slightly offended were the ones who are always looking for things they could embrace as being offended by.

Its official, Washington is going to drop the name. Guess my HS is probably going to have to change soon as well.
