Washington Redskins
Having a team called the Washington Redskins didnt get a guy in Minneapolis murdered by a cop. Neither did having a Confederate Statue in a Southern town. The cop did that on his own, and Confederate Statues and sports were not on his mind when he killed George Floyd.
The Washington Redskins have about as much to do with George Floyd's death as a penguin has to do with ISIS, yet the name didnt change until after all the bullshit around George Floyd's death spread like a wildfire.

Politically correct
Trying to make everything politically correct so it doesnt offend anyone is how you end up with cars with names like Solstice and Equinox instead of Cougar, Rocket, or Charger.
As soon as Charger or Challenger start becoming abusive or mean names for cars that have to be made politically correct, Detroit is going to be in worse shape than it already is since the 70s. That is progress, even if that's what a politician calls it (Democrat or Republican).

School/team name change
People who go to a high school have about as much interest in the name of the school as they have in the subjects being taught there. Their main interest is getting it over with and graduating. People who play on a sports team have more interest in making money than they do in what the name of the team they play on is.
The people involved in a school/team name change never held the original name sacred, and won't hold the next one sacred either. For 88 years, it never bothered anybody that the Washington Redskins were the Redskins, the name never really raised an eyebrow. Nobody paid the name much attention, then somebody whines about it and they have to make it politically correct so it no longer offends anybody (even though it never seemed to once in 88 years). They can even pick more neutral colors on their jerseys, how would their fans like a team with neutral colors and a lifeless name to go with it? It would be like playing a team called the neutered Bulldogs dressed in tiny pajamas versus the toxic, rabid, drug-fed junkyard Bulldogs.

Authenticity
The real shit.
Girl-Check out this bottle of sensory deprivation pills, it helps you clear your head when you want to do shit and have a lot on your mind.
Guy-I don't really need that shit, I'm good.
Girl- I am so much more than the product I am selling, I'm the real deal yo, that's why I say shit like that sometimes. And this shit works. I take it too. And my business partner here, he fuck yo mama last night and wake up in the dumpster.
Guy- I know you're trying to sell me authenticity and pills, but really, even if you weren't superficial I wouldn't need it. I really dont need shit from you right now.

Live and let live
Live and let live doesnt mean nobody deserves to die, or suffer. People who dont know how to live and let live don't deserve to live.
