Sports franchises are renaming teams, companies are renaming products, to eliminate the appearance or perception of racism.
Ok, in many cases that’s a good thing.
I’m just wondering, has anyone heard what Indian Motorcycle might rename itself to?

It's getting so stupid out there! What is going on? Every one that can't get along and take a french joke should take a time out, until they can play well with others!
Maybe we should be offended because BRP spelled SPIDER incorrectly.

But it's the correct spelling of Spyder, ie. a roadster; an open 2 seater with emphasis on sporting appearance or character!! So the REAL Spiders out there, ie. eight-legged predatory arachnids, usually with poisonous fangs, would probably be offended if BRP spelled it with an 'i', cos our Spyders obviously don't have 8 legs!! Or fangs.... Or poison.... or...
Maybe we should just call them 'motorbikes'.... . Oooh, hang on.... .

We just simply call the Spyders/Rykers "Motortrikes" and if nobody got offended by that then we add that word to the Canadian English dictionary, heh.
Cheers.

I'm offended because BRP misspelled BURP. (I'm fond a good burp after a big meal.)
You've spelled BuRP incorrectly.
