The Hope Memorial Bridge, built in 1932, has 8 statues symbolizing progress in transportation, officially known as the Guardians of Traffic.   The bridge was renovated in the early 1980s; the statues were "sandblasted" with crushed walnut shells to remove decades of soot and grime.

The capitol of India is New Delhi.

Iceland is a country in the North Atlantic, Reykjavik is its capital.

Here's a picture of the 8 of them:



I never knew about them before the name change.  It's a pretty interesting city feature, IMO.

Apparently no one checked the name. A roller derby team owns the website and some social media accounts already.

Because conservatives aren't the racist piece of crap you guys want us to be. I have to admit that after I saw the reason behind the name it made a lot of sense to me. Pretty cool actually.

Yeah, the name is cool, now that I see the story behind it.

Just the liberal divide and conquer agenda. Identity politics strikes again. Changing the name won't make any difference.

I hope you're sitting down for this one...

What if the fictional beings represented by those monochrome inanimate statues... are Native American, not white?

Who gives a fuck what they are?   The whole point about the team changing their name is the cancel culture bullshit that is poisoning this country.   And like CF said, us conservatives are not the WASP-Y racist pieces of shit you liberals make us out to be.

Or maybe just people. Sad how liberals categorize people by race and color to further their racist agendas and quest for power.

Since Trump was the King of Cancel Culture (see Goodyear, Coca Cola, et al for confirmation), I imagine you've already built up a healthy tolerance to that particular "poison."

...and since "woke" simply means that you care about other people's rights and feelings, whether the person looks and lives like you or not... Thank you very much.

No, if they were cancelled they would have been shut down. People voiced their displeasure and still drink coke etc. Actually bitching, whining, and threatening until you get something cancelled is pretty much a liberal thing. Progressive liberal but still a liberal thing. Us conservatives have to go to work.

Apparently Tenshot does, as he's the one that brought it up in the first place.

It wasn't a liberal that was focusing on the race of a statue in yet another misguided effort to own the libs.

So wait: if [person or company] still exists and is available, it's not "cancelled"?

Then what has actually been cancelled?
