#2 Yids need to be less sensitive and more imaginative. Golani Brigade is a good name for a team... The Wrath of God is not to bad either.... Or how about the 48'ers..... The F-15Is? The Dolphins? And for the overweight set... the Mighty Merkovas.... THE STERN GANG!

#3 "A lot of the kids on our team are from Palestinian origin," said Tarek Shawky, Intifadaâs 29-year-old captain and quarterback. "We are in solidarity with people in the uprising. Itâs about human rights and basic freedoms."

Sounds like a ham-ASS member to me trying to export their hatred. I would hope that the FBI is watching him since he is in 'solidarity' with murders and terrorists.

#4 Who cares what they name their teams? They have to live with their names. In college there was a great intramural team called the Piss Hard Ons.

Maybe they should call their teams "The Murdering Tikritis" or the "Shredder Feeders". Wait till they play the .50 Cal Snipers in the playoffs.

If you complain about everything, no one listens to you anyway. The story shouldn't be about the SWC complaining, it should be about what the typical American thinks.

#5 Try fielding a team called the CRUSADERS at the Woodbridge Community Park. The ACLU will be there faster than you can say "Separation of church ..."

#6 Once again we have a double standard--this misguided notion that Islam is off limits to any criticism, however it continues to be open season on the Judea/Christian heritage that founded this country.

#7 "Itâs about human rights and basic freedoms." Human rights protesters that target civilians with semetex - sounds about right.

#8 Anyone on Rantburg heard about the new Riddley Scott movie currently filming in Spain and Morocco? The working title is "The Crusades" that should get some turbans spinning!
