Should the Denver Nuggets change their name?

No

We need to be more mentally tough and save our outrage for things that are actually offensive.

No why would they?

Yes. I would say the Denver NBA Team.

No, the team name is fine.

Yes, especially for what they did to the Bulls a few weeks ago, by pulling off a stunning, shocking come-from-behind victory behind our backs.

No, it's linked to the mining history of the area.

I think the New York Knickers sounds a lot closer

African Americans is a more racist phrase 

sad to say, but there are already several schools in California that have removed team names and mascots that reference the Gold Rush so significant in the state's history...

the argument is that, by spurring the state's growth and encouraging migration and settlement, the Gold Rush created "an era of exploitation and native genocide"... team names like "The Prospectors" and "49ers" have been erased....a school in San Francisco (which would not have achieved its status as a wealthy city without the Gold Rush) removed it's mascot, which was based on the iconic "Yosemite Sam" cartoon character as "offensive to natives"...

it is therefore impossible to write this off as obvious trolling...
