Like many disconcerting trends happening in the world right now, I’m not entirely sure how this one got started. It is resolutely not a serious matter, but seeing as how this is a sports website, one dedicated to a local Toronto sports team, it behooves me to report on it. So here goes.
The Toronto Raptors should definitely not change their name and re-brand themselves as the Toronto Huskies. It is a bad idea and it should not happen.
Ever since the inaugural season, when it was determined that the team would in fact be named the Raptors, there has been a question as to the name’s appropriateness.
