Obvious Blitzkrieg reference, right?

Give me a break. People will reach to manufacture offense at anything to give themselves opportunity to virtue signal from a position of unearned moral authority.

As a person who identifies as a weather event, I find the use of the term "Thunder" offensive.

I had no idea there was a European football league.
I guess now that I know, I still don't care.

I'm automatically going to think of Nazis when I hear Berlin anyway, so there's probably not many tough sounding names that would have been any better. Should have gone with Caterpillars or Puppies.

Milano "Seamen" is clearly a reference to toxic cis-male sexuality which is a tool of the toxic, oppressive, masculine, anti-woman, anti-trans, white supremacist patriarchy.

Or they're referring actual sailors, in which case it's also offensive because "seamen" implies only cis-males can be sailors which clearly promotes the toxic, oppressive, masculine, anti-woman, anti-trans white supremacist patriarchy.

Also, Milano is in Italy and Christopher Columbus was Italian, and Columbus murdered billions of peaceful Two-Spirit Native Americans who just wanted to get married and invert their *****es in peace without the fear of getting smallpox from the toxic, oppressive, masculine, anti-woman, anti-trans, white supremacist patriarchy.
