Are they really planning on calling themselves the Coyotes?  Why not the 
fighting Coyotes?  Could they get away with calling themselves the Sioux?

The one thing in this whole, long process I never understood was why 
"Fighting Sioux" was an abusive nickname.  You have all kinds of 
nicknames for sports teams (including the "Fighting Irish") and some of 
them use abusive logos (Chief Wahoo of Cleveland) but this one got all 
the press.  I guess I'm just dense because I still don't get it.

Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?
