Also, the New Zealand soccer team created a bit of a row in the last World Cup because they are known as the "All-Whites", because of their distinctive uniforms.

The 2010 World Cup was held in South Africa, a nation that has experienced significant racial strife, so of course someone got "offended".

What would be the reaction if a team named themselves the "White Stars"?
Harrier, there is already a football club (soccer) called the white stars. The reaction is pretty minimal and is a nonissue... I don't know why some people see so much racism against whites when in reality it is very rare...

How come the Black Sox never caught on after the 1919 World Series?

To the people who say that the name is because of the black star on the Ghanian flag, isn't a black hole simply a star that has collapsed upon itself?

Today is not your day.

You've made some lame threads, but this one is hard to top.

Haha... his threads are like home videos w/ a dad, his kid, and a whiffle ball bat. You know what's going to happen, the only question is how painful is it going to look.

Harrier has no doubt that it is painful for you when he hits a home run right over your head.

I really can't see the people of Ghana changing their name bc some ultra sensitive liberals in the US are offended.

If you want to talk about something, how about the white occupy wall street types waiving Ghana flags in nyc that they showed on espn
