Cincinnati is a liberal town - it's baseball team's nickname is appropriate.
This is just silly. The lengths that someone would do try to politicize a sports team.
Cincinnati is hardly a liberal town, certainly not by NY/LA/SF standards. I'd say that culturally and socially it's rather traditional.
The Reds team management/culture has historically been a very buttoned down, traditional organization, they didn't allow facial hair (until recently), and don't tend to spend a lot of money on free agents.
Probably one of the most colorful and controversial past owners of the Reds, the late Marge Schott, was known to be very stingy in terms of pay and working conditions for the staff. She also was known for making very racially insensitive remarks. I would hardly call her a "liberal" in any sense of the word.
I see you support political correctness. Funny how the tea party embraced the phrase teabagging a few years ago, now they are against it.
Well, it's like this - many conservatives always yell "PC, PC" to stifle objections when they use labels or names of groups that don't like being called that. But they cry like stuck pigs when they get a taste of their own medicine. Just like bullies who love to dish it out but can't take it.
Does the Cincinnati Reds nickname promote communism?
The baseball team won a World Series in 1920, three years after the Bolshevik Revolution and in the midst of of a worldwide developing communist paradigm.
It won two World Series in 1975 and 1976, the year and the year after that the Second Indochina War ended with an emergent Communist Vietnam.
The Red's won another World Series in 1990, just a year before the fall of the Soviet Union.
Their nickname should require no explanation.
Coincidence?
You're really this ignorant, aren't you?
Dude, you're 36 years old. Why the hell are you wasting time criticizing a team of players who will be forever more talented than you will ever be and not doing something productive, like...oh I dunno...working on that "law degree" you keep yammering on about?
Seriously, for a right winger you sure do embarrass yourself for no damn reason.
Do people move away from you at the bar when you bring these kinds of questions up?
That reminds me - I need to check my numbers for the pool for the game.
