In the college sports world, Long Beach State officially today changed their school nickname from the 49ers (which was deemed too offensive although I'm not exactly sure why) to the Beach. So they're now going to be known as the Long Beach State Beach, or if you want to be more official, the California State University Long Beach Beach. They are keeping the Dirtbags name for baseball, but in all other sports, they're the Beach.

The truly sad part about this news is Long Beach's 'beach' is awful. It's one of the worst beaches in Southern California and no one goes there (outside of the Queen Mary I guess, which is an okay tourist spot I suppose).

All the Europeans and Chinese moved in for the gold rush and took the land of the Mexicans and Indians.

Kind of like 1776. So the Philadelphia NBA team ought to look out.

I say we ban all nicknames!!!!!!!!! I bet someone is offended by every one of them.

Just Notre Dame
Just New England
Just New York
Just Los Angeles
Just Stanford
Boston College
Alabama
New Orleans
Harvard
Cleveland - OMG "The Browns" must offend all kinds of people from immigrants to Kamala Harris..............

You can only associate with where you are from NO MORE NICKNAMES



The only team nickname name you should keep is the New York Jets, they only thing they offend is the win column....

LOL, they deserve to change it to the Biatches. More fitting...

This post needs a little clarity. Yes, the 49er (and Prospector Pete) are out as official mascot/logo because of how the gold rush impacted Native Americans. This is definitely silly and sad. BUT, the new mascot is a shark. You are confusing how the school often refers to its athletic program as Beach Athletics or simply Beach. It’s done this for years. And for what it’s worth, 49er isn’t going away entirely - it’ll still be an informal knickname, The Daily 49er is still the student newspaper, among other things.

they're in cali....

Having lived in Long Beach, I can verify their beaches suck.

Monster Garage was filmed on location in Long Beach. West Coast Choppers is in Long Beach.

This concludes the reasons to go to Long Beach.

The beach is obviously a male chauvinist name. Men go to beaches to gawk at women in bikinis. That is totally unacceptable. The name ‘beaches’ is a toxic male example of superiority and has no place being used on a campus of higher learning. A boycott is coming...

The Grand Prix is pretty great. Especially if you've got a buddy who lives on the 20th floor of one of the condo towers right on the back straight, just above Turn 9.

We're big fans of the Aquarium of the Pacific.

And if you're a person who enjoys drinking to excess, 2nd St in Belmont Shore is a top notch pub crawl.

MUWHAHAHA!!!!

Our plan is coming to fruition. Now we just have to convince the libs in San Fran to force the NFL 49ers to change their name and Charlotte shall have complete rights to the 49ers moniker and logos.....

MUWHAHAHA!!!!

The "Grand Prix" is next up for a name change - if I have to explain to you why that is offensive, you clearly are not a democrat .

Stupid, but good for selfish reasons. Now there is only one "49ers", at least in collegiate sports.

california is our country's first third world state, and it appears to be something that democrats are not only content with but frankly, are encouraging.

So basically Californians think the Indians & Mexicans are like this guy:

Hey look, the National Review wrote something I mostly agree with. I didn't see that one coming.

No rumors of this happening but, yeah, I get your point.
