Devils should change their name

[Burr]

Some idiot politician wants the New Jersey Devils to change their name, WTF! So much for the theory that this stuff only happens in the bible belt.

``This is an age where symbolism is very important,'' said Stanley, a Baptist deacon whose resolution to rename the team is to be introduced in the Assembly next month. A new name would be chosen in a statewide competition.

...

``I've always cringed when people say they're going to see the Devils,'' Stanley said. ``The merchandise, the paraphernalia is based on the actual demonic devil. Personally, it causes a little bit of an issue with me.''

I'm torn between my distaste for the Devils and my distaste for religious nuts.

I would tell him to fuck off if I was a fan or or a member of the Devil's orginazation. If the name were to ever be changed though it would be up to the owner anyway. The Angels should have to change their name as well then if we're going to be all PC up the ass about this though.

Wanna hear a funny story though? I had this weird dream where we lived in a country that had some strange new political system called "Democracy". It was this new super radical way of doing things where the PEOPLE decided what happened to the country. Imagine that! The oddest part of all though was there was some thing called the "Bill of Rights" that would guarantee you certain rights. One of which was called "Freedom of Religion". Theres no need to worry though everyone, afterall this was only a dream.

Anything that pisses off Devils fans is fine by me.

I think people just don't like teams named after red skinned beings.

That is the stupidest thing ever, Sombody shoot his retarded ass.

and I agree, if the Devils have to change their name so do the Angels...

The funny thing is that the "Devils" isn't based on Satan or religion but rather a myth in this part of the country called the Jersey Devil.
