If people want to play Ultimate seriously and attract serious sponsorship to their game then fine they should ensure that their behaviour and their team names are suitable for general consumption by the "General" populace. However, for those that want to play the game for the sense of fun and good spirit at a local/regional level and not in the public eye, then let them be called whatever they want. After all Manchester Utd aren't going to be chastised by the media because there happens to be a Sunday league team called the "Flaming Arseholes" or whatever. People have to decide at what level they want to play and then take the consequences of playing at that level, just as other sports people do. Simon Sneeekys
