Huh, okay. 88 is also a common dog whistle for racial supremecists. H being the 8th letter of the alphabet, its commonly a veiled reference to Heil Hitler.

Ahh. Forgot about that one. And also the group of 88 professors that defended the Duke University Lacrosse team as well. Knowing the guys I’ve talked to on here for years, I just assumed it referenced the sexual position called 88. It’s a melting pot in BB, as it should be. If it’s a racial team name with racial intentions, it needs to be changed.

Eighty-eights could also be in reference to the genus of butterflies, the keys on a piano, or the abbreviation for hugs and kisses but you're most likely right. Probably hard to enforce a change of team name when it can stand for other things as well, but it definitely doesn't seem like the best name.

Used my connections to get the team name removed. 😁

Nice one! I’m hoping it wasn’t bad intentions, but if it can be taken offensively, it was best to change it anyway.

on a basketball-related note, to be honest, I really wasn't expecting to promote and sold my best player after losing in the finals in a fit of rage. With that being said, I am in very big trouble and just hope to be competitive.

Well we got rid of the two best teams in the league, only to replace them with 3 equally powerful ones. Even coming off a 16-6 season I'm having trouble seeing how I'm gonna get to .500 against this schedule. I only see maybe half a dozen easy games, and a lot of work ahead of me.

I will be happy to be closer to breaking even this season. I lost a lot of money last season, but brought home a BBM tourney win for the United States. It took this kind of salary to win BBM in lower levels, so I don’t see it being possible for me at any higher levels. The positive side is that I don’t have a lot of expenses outside of salaries. The negative is that I don’t get the bonuses that come with those additional expenses. This will be a trial and error season for sure

Tenacious Turtles does log in very infrequently, so that does help you and I out slightly. He went about 3 weeks without logging in, logged in on the 1st of November and now has not logged in again for 4 days.
