Quote Harlequin="Harlequin"Dear CW, I did not doubt for one minute that I was dealing with sensible and educated people and who love RL. But just exactly how do I introduce myself? If you look at the Harlequin icon location it might give you a clue where I come from. The reason I focus on names is because I don't accept that we have to accept this Americanization. If only these disneyfied names were nicknames, but they are also part of their official name and most seem ludicrous. I try to imagine Man Utd changing its official name to Manchester Red Devils Utd it would not happen because of history/tradition reasons. Their fans would burn Old Trafford down first! but we in RL seem to accept this process as progress. Kind Regards.'"
Football doesn't need it in this country because they are the number 1 sport way ahead of RL. I've noted a number of reasons why some clubs have it and why it works for them, your argument for not having them is that you personally just don't like them....not much of an argument at all or reason to change them.
