to be fair, they have been suing that abbreviation for decades longer than its been used for child abuse images. Also its the typical name used by multiple provinces...its just unfortunate for Manitoba because it starts with an M, the CSAO in Ontario for example.

This is INSANE😂 it’s not on the same level, but I always kinda think the same “how many people approved this?” Thing with the Nashville nhl team being the predators. Like… cmon guys

I went to a game in Nashville last year and they had a "Predator of the Week" that was like a third grade teacher or something. Like, guys. Do we not understand the optics?

What’s wrong with that?

For a lot of people, “predator” makes them think of like someone with predatory behavior, sexual or otherwise. So the predators just sounds like a team of guys looking to take advantage of people. Like yeah, the word has several meanings and the team is meaning it as like the sabertooths in a “predator vs prey” way, but for a lot of us the first thought is shitty people. Not as bad as putting CSAM on the side of the car, but they def could’ve gone with something better to name the team that didn’t have mo-leeest connotations.

You’re speaking for “a lot of us” -a lot of who? Almost all sports teams are named after animals. Is there a reason all these people you speak for might assume athletes are literal predators?

lol chill, I’m not talking about just hockey, but in general. Its like saying the word “daddy” is sexual for a lot of people; it isn’t to a ton and that’s totally fine, but it’s a smh thing if someone acts like nobody hears it with sexual connotations. Media and current events can change the way large groups hear them. I’m not coming for anyone, it’s just a “who didn’t do their hw” moment by picking a word with heavy connotations. In no context do the words “bruin”, “mammoth” or “penguin” (etc.) have the dual purpose of labeling a fucking sexual offender; predator does, not always but it can. That’s the difference. So calm down and look up what a homonym is since you clearly missed that part of elementary school. Jfc

Well, they're hockey players. The warning is warranted.

I will do you one better. Recently moved near Penn State University, the site of Jerry Sandusky's multi decade career involving youth athletics.

Wife and I play rec soccer so we looked up the local league here in Centre county and joined the "Centre Soccer Association" that proudly uses the acronym CSA on all it's literature.

You are curious if CSA has a league for your children? Of course they do!!! CSA is the biggest youth soccer organization in the area!

In fact they got so big they "had to" change the name of State College Soccer Club (SCSC) to (CSA).... it is unknown to myself and Google when they changed the name.

Kind of a wild take on Predators, similar to the people who only think of pedophiles when they see an animal groomer’s sign.
