Can international relations be improved with team names?

[bean2k21]

Sports games can get very competitive. However, at the end of the day, we all know it's just a game.

In America, if our team is losing, we definitely feel bad associating with losers, but console ourselves with beer and nachos.

So, would things be a little less tense between countries if we gave ourselves team names?

And when there was a war, it could just be like, you know, watch the American Eagles take on the Russian Brown Bears.

American Eagles
Canadian Beavers
Mexican Hairless Dogs
British Fucktards

You get the idea.

Mexican Hairless Dog

Interesting idea. I can see discussions st the UN now.

"The chair now recognizes the distinguished delegate from the French Frogs..."

I was thinking they should be the French Hens

[bean2k21]

Or no, the French Fries.

No. It would sound more like you're trying to rationalise your crimes/losing out by doublespeak.

And the Fucktards (0 - 2) start the match by pointing fingers, ironically enough.

You'd have better luck convincing the world to accept 84 genders and counting as their Lords and saviors.

Shouldn't Canada's team be the Geese?
