There have been several complaints from more than a few posters with the bastardization/abbreviation of our new coach's name. While a few find it amusing. Some actually find it offensive. Please refrain from using it from this point forward. The admins have put in a language filter regarding its use. Please don't try and bypass it in some other form. Bannings will be handed out.

Also, I saw in another thread where the sexuality preferences of a particular person were brought into question. That has no business anywhere in this forum or for that matter the entire board. Keep it to yourself or you will find yourself not posting here any longer. EVER!

Also other derogatory nicknames for people and/or players that are used ad nauseam will not be tolerated

Is "MLF" OK for our HC?

 

[Totally_Red]

Is MLF okay?

Is MLF okay?

I would say yes. The extra letter is what makes it derogatory and changes the meaning. With him having a last name with two Capitol letter I would say that MLF is OK.

Why type the extra letter?

ML = Mike LaFleur
MB = Mike Bidwill
MO = Monti Ossenfort

Someone said it was confusing because of Matt Leinart

He hasn't been on our team for a long time so that's not a factor IMO

 

[pemory09]

Was wondering if the board was somehow not aware that that acronym is offensive. Thanks for the guidance on the accepted acronym choice.

 

[some dumb guy]

Maybe take any pos/neg inference completely out and just use..
Our HC?
Watch....our HC is kicking butt this year or our HC sucks...works both ways..LOL

And kidding aside, good call

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

good thing his name wasn't gike lafleur - not that there's anything wrong with that

MLF is fine. The other that adds an "i" to it isn't.

 

[Dback Jon]

I genuinely didn't realize how the acronym could ever be considered offensive in a non professional setting.

The phrase itself isnt considered offensive to any group of people, so is it just the acronym having a curse word? The only option I can think of is the "raised in the 1940's" mindset where you find curse words in general to be upsetting.

I realize that in the past curse words in any context were considered offensive, but I thought that moral framework had been eradicated from society. The only people I've ever met who thought like that are all older than 80. I can't even call those people boomers, I'm talking about the silent generation.

Well, it's a family forum with multiple female members who are mothers... The acronym is literally a sexist take towards moms. We all know what the F stands for and the action that is implied in it. Fine for a raunchy movie comedy with an R+ rating... But not here.

 

[cardcrazy]

Immature disrespectful reference

 

[speedy]

I like it… when I see ML I think Matt Leinart, so MLF is much clearer

You think this about the F word? Please. This is about the objectification of women, and misogyny, plain and simple. Its surprising to me that a good percentage of men, who want to call feminists (myself) "old fashioned" for assuming we're offended by swearing, but cannot for the life of them look in a mirror and see how diminishing a woman and mother into something nothing more than something you'd like to bang is sad. Grow up.

 

[jf-08]

Fyi, please do not talk politics here. If anyone wants to continue to discuss the nuanced word combination in this lens, please wander over to the P&R section and I'm sure you'll be graciously and warmly welcomed.

The folks that think it's okay here probably think it's okay to tell a woman she should smile more, like "I never see you smile, for ten years, you should smile more." Abjectly pathetic.

Edit: I didn't see the post below this one and duly edited mine so it was non-political.
