I mean, we already have a swiss player on our roster, but we're advertising our existence to the Northern Ireland gaming community, as they may not be aware of our existence! & nah. NIgs looks better! What's wrong with it anyway? While it may be fairly ok within Ireland, around the world you are going to have problems. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nigs | ||

Its a derogatory term for black people which is pretty offensive. Nigs/nigga are abreviations/synonyms of the term. And if you dont have black people in Northern Ireland then you better hope for a local sponser. | ||

We play with a guy called Pac-Wac, OH NOES it sounds similar to the derogative for Asians, 'Paki'. Yes a line on offensiveness can be drawn, but I don't feel we step over said line | ||

We do just not a whole lot because most youths are racist and love shouting the words "nigger" and "paki".; | ||

You may want to change the name. Not only is the clan tag silly, but Northern Ireland Global Starcraft is kind of a weird name. The thought of having a specific area with the word global after it is silly. | ||

It spells an abbreviation for a derogatory/racist term that many black people find offensive. I think if you want your organisation to be taken more seriously, it shouldn't have a name that spells that with its initials. | ||
