Just fancy getting some of you frothing at the mouth, but the rabid ones have my sympathy on this one. The New Zealand football team is seriously considering dropping its alternative nickname the 'all whites' bcos they have a south african in charge of marketing who says the name was frowned upon during the 2010 World Cup in S Africa,i.e. it has wacist connotations. Alternative suggestions welcome:

the all wokes
the non-binary anti-colourists
the lily livers (instead of whites)

Like the idea of the 3rd choice, tho I suspect they will always be known as 'Kiwis'

A possible problem is that the Maori name for New Zealand is Aotearoa - Long White Cloud.

I thought this thread was about teams managed by Harry Rednapp.

 


Eze Peasy at Anfield....

Whose name is offensive to native Americans.

It's nuts.

All blacks, all whites....just names for teams.

Just another example of what happens when you allow politics into sport.

Man United should stop calling themselves the Red Devils as it is offensive to communist diabolists.

I was thinking it was the Italian team's alternative name.

They should also ban R. White's Lemonade and all of the associated adverts. Secret sugar rush, obesity, poor tooth health and racism all in one.

Also offensive to the native population of their owners.

Chelsea can expect a Smurf protest anytime now unless they go back to being called the Pensioners which would be offensive to, well, pensioners.
