Just like The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.

Yeah it’s stupid to change the name

If it offends you, just personally shorten it to red river .

Like changing WLOCP. It’s dumb and has zero impact on anything. Nobody’s behavior is changed or is persuaded to drink less bc it’s no longer the cocktail party

Nobody is committing less violent crime due to the shootout name being changed to rivalry

If anything Shootout is an appropriate name given it is held in Fair Park.

Last time I went there I heard gun fire.

But does anyone actually care? Even within that population, the number of people who actually give a shite has to be exceptionally small.

This one is actually offensive because Mormons aren’t Christians.

It offended about 4 people so we changed it. Makes sense, right?

Yep, Washington Redskins, not Football Team or Commanders. Maybe Commies though.
