    One day the Rockets had to change their name because it carried violent overtones

    I don't foresee that happening. If we were the Washington Rockets, sure. There might be some outcry. But this is Space City.

    Yeah I was thinking about the same thing the other day except for the New York Knicks because I was thinking about it and a lot of murderers wore those pants a long time ago.

    Yeah. And do you know how many people a year drown in lakes? People who drown in lakes do not take the name Lakers lightly.

    Yeah I don't know about you, but I would be pissed if I drowned in a lake and found out there was a team calling themselves the "Lakers".

    What about the Clippers?

    A lot of people get injured during haircuts.

    I have to disagree. I saw the 8 part Harry Potter documentary films and magic is some powerful stuff.

    "Political Correctness" is so annoying, pretentious, and hypocritical...worrying about superficial names and labels while ignoring the real substance of social issues. Will there be less violence in Chicago if the Bears change their name to the Kitties. Has the name Wizards reduced the crime rate in D.C.? Hollywood glamorizes guns and violence then whines about the absence of gun control. They glamorize women as sex objects and then whine about women's rights. The elites in our society are so screwed up.

    The Chinese would have to send Rockets at the Toyota Center for Les to change the name. We'd then become America's team, the Houston Americans.

    If we never defended the Alamo would our team even exist?
