New ABA Basketball Team's Name Causes Trouble

[tornado]

The new ABA team in Syracuse,
the Syracuse Bullies

"People who run anti-bullying programs are crying foul over the Bullies name. They say when children attend the games, they'll get the wrong idea that bullies are cool."

"The team's mascot is a muscle-bound bull."

They should be concerned about some of the other nicknames in the ABA--
Gallup Outlaws- http://www.thegallupoutlaws.org/

Houston Undertakers- http://www.houstonundertakers.net/

Monterey Veneno (the Poison)- http://www.venenodemonterrey.com/

Quebec Kebekwa- Under pressure, they changed their names from the Quebec Frogs which is a racially insulting and derogatory term for Frenchmen, but they kept the frog mascot and logo.

I guess enough was enough and the Syracuse Bullies finally got tired of taking lumps
in the press....they have decided to change the team's name.
Now they are the Raging Bulls.
