I’m not sure why exactly he was fired (I didn’t watch the videos), other than his boss finding his Facebook post to be offensive to his company and sponsors. But it wasn’t because of the name of the race, which was reviewed and accepted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct his firing was over comments he made in social media on another matter but there has been some chatter on the naming of Dirty Kanza being offensive to local native Indian tribes for a while. It wouldn’t surprise me if it gets changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted June 26, 2020 Share #8 Posted June 26, 2020 Hogwash. No way cycling races can be offensive unless I'm enrolled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no opinion if that is offensive to the local Indian tribe, other than it was discussed with their leaders and felt ok to continue, as-named. So I consider that a settled issue? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted June 27, 2020 Share #14 Posted June 27, 2020 For the sake of harmony, I suggest that all team or event names that involve minorities to which minorities object be changed to team names involving Whites since White people are honored by having teams called savage, mean, etc. names. Ancestry.com says I'm 5% Scandinavian and 23% Irish and I am happy that there are teams called the Vikings and the Fighting Irish. A lot of people object to the NFL team allegedly from Washington, D.C. (plays in Maryland!) being called the Redskins, but for some reason they have no problem with the several Native American Reservation Schools whose team name is Redskins. So rename those teams and events after the Huns, Spartans, Goths, Visigoths, Cossacks, etc. We'll take them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
