Personally, I don't think or see how it's racist. But in a sensitive time, why would you pick a name like this? Dumb, dumb, dumb.

I wasn't giving advice. I could, but this isn't Dr. Phil. Although perhaps you should check that show out. You seem to have anger issues, much like Mark McClure - a guy who lost tons of money and had...

I think Halifax's number is from earlier in the season. I could be wrong.

It would be good to see all the teams return.

I'd rule out most major cities in Canada - minor league sports just don't work in their overserved sports' makets. Losing boatloads of money won't help the league become viable OR get a TV deal.
