What’s in a name?

‎About a year ago my local high school changed its school nickname from a politically-incorrect Civil War reference to the more generic “Captains.”

This week my local NFL team changed its politically-incorrect nickname (well, the one they had before they had no nickname) to the generic “Commanders.”

I’m pretty sure the local community college will be renamed something like the Chief Petty Officers any day now.
