    Well done Exeter.

    Well done Exeter Chiefs RFC for not bowing down to pressure by those wanting them to drop the name 'Chiefs' claiming that it is disrespectful. Why is it disrespectful? I think it's the opposite. Perhaps I'm wrong but in my opinion it's no different to the name Dallas Cowboys. To my mind it's the PC brigade taking matters to the extreme and trying to find problems which aren't there. They would be far better turning their attention to real problems such as 'slavery' that is a reality in this country today.

    Totally agree! Slavery is within those Leicester manufacturing factories where as always, a blind eye is turned! Happens in bed/mattress factories as well!

    ALBION. That's an old name for England isn't it? Surely that can't be PC and should be changed.

    There seems to be a number of folks in this country who must scour the media outlets looking for reasons to take offence. Some of them even take offence on behalf of others when the original party isn't offended. In what way is Chief offensive exactly?

    All this PC s**t almost makes me want to go out and deliberately offend some of these snowflake types. I am, however too nice a person to actually be offensive................!

    It’s got so bad that the term pay day is changing as it is deemed offensive to those that won’t work

    Just waiting for the word "responsibility" to be outlawed, as the word is offensive to those not to be prepared to accept it.
