coleman26 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 re: 'They should know better' They should. I'm not saying they can't name it what they want, but it's like Evander Kane and the Vegas shot and the head shaving. It's not explicitly that you cannot, or should not, ever do those things. It's that any reasonable person has to know that there will be a backlash. At minimum, one person had to say 'SS? You mean, like the Nazi's? Do we want to be associated with that?' in a meeting, and that should have been enough for them to rename it, like, anything else. I don't care, I don't know what it was supposed to stand for, but get a thesaurus and replace one of the s's with a synonym and just save yourself the hassle. That's basic stuff.

Buddhas Hand Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Given that the SS was a central player in Implementing the "Final Solution", such distaste of the "SS" abbreviation is quite understandable - it is pretty much a cultural imperative for Jews and Israel. http://www.ushmm.org...duleId=10007403 http://www.ushmm.org...duleId=10005477 http://www.ushmm.org...duleId=10007328 http://www.ushmm.org...duleId=10005151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist.

Scott Hartnell's Mane Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 The Holocaust is seared on the consciousness of Jews and others. There is a reason why certain Nazi symbols and images are still prohibited in a number of European countries and in some of those countries Holocaust denial is a crime. I understand better than most as I lost relatives in the Nazi death camps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Hartnell's Mane Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Remember earlier when I said: I'd hate to think how many things have "double S" initials? Guessing Solid State drives don't sell well in Isreal either...they'er going to fall behind the technological curve. Can you just imagine what would happen if Scott Stevens booked a trip to bringing with him a laptop with a solid state drive, his favourite stainless steel, coffee to go mug, working on a spreadsheet, enjoying lunch with some sea salt.....

aGENT Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I sympathize with that. I really do...but the Nazis didnt INVENT the SS abbreviation nor do they have exclusive rights to it, so it's kind of silly to infer that every time the letters SS appear together that it has something to do with Nazis. That's just common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddhas Hand Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yup as i have noted in the past quoting Lutheran Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) - for his opposition to the Nazis' state control of the churches, Niemöller was imprisoned in Sachsenhausen and Dachau concentration camps from 1937 to 1945. /topic/311381-evangelist-groups-who-target-children/page__view__findpost__p__9903299">http://forum.canucks...ost__p__9903299 /topic/305165-is-there-a-personal-cost-to-being-an-atheist-ask-damon-fowler/page__view__findpost__p__9724246">http://forum.canucks...ost__p__9724246 /topic/283257-breast-feeding-in-public/page__view__findpost__p__8867770">http://forum.canucks...ost__p__8867770 I lost relatives in the Nazi death camps.

Wetcoaster Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Yes, which stands for "Super Sport". Which has what exactly to do with Nazis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Other than the visceral reaction, little but as the article notes in the past the marketing has been using Super Sport and not the initials. The initials have very negative cultural connotation for Israelis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
