I think if those traditions are minimized, the team name could still remain in 20 years.

Is she just here to piss people off? If so, it's working very, very well.
Football fans don't like her. Men don't like her. Women don't like her. Children don't like her and I'm pretty confident that beagle dogs don't like her, either.
And beagle dogs like everybody.

Look at the interests of the KC Star editorial board. Knowledge of football is the last thing that they want in a sportswriter. [Reply]
