Yep, the reactions to school mascots and team names are funny. When a new coach came from the mainland to run the football program at U of Hawaii he could not handle the team name the Rainbow Warriors. Changing that was the first thing he did. I guess the Gay inference of the word rainbow put him off.
The name was very popular and it took years for fans and sports commentators to make the change and stop calling them the bows in news casts. Funny now that coach is gone but its just too hard to go back to the old name I guess.
