You're going in a slightly different direction here. I never said anyone can't complain. Or anyone can't feel a certain way. Some people can and will complain about everything. The grass is too green, the sky is too blue. Along the same lines, there is no reason I can't point out how the complaints are off base. There is nothing wrong with green grass, blue skies are pretty.
Most everyone is simply complaining because it's not their favorite. That's silly. To even bring up not cheering for the team anymore because of the name, well that's assinine.
If they had come out with dog poop as the name, then maybe I could understand most of the responses in this thread. But our state bird? I'm just asking for perspective.
