For more than 50 years, Simon Fraser University香蕉视频直播檚 sports teams have played under the name The Clan, to honour the Scottish heritage of the school香蕉视频直播檚 namesake.

But now, amid violent neo-Nazi marches in the United States, some professors and students are sounding the alarm that the name evokes a very different clan 香蕉视频直播� the Ku Klux Klan.

Philosophy professor Holly Andersen has to persuade the university to change the name, saying that the word 香蕉视频直播渃lan香蕉视频直播� sounds the same spelled with a 香蕉视频直播淐香蕉视频直播� or a 香蕉视频直播淜香蕉视频直播� and is associated with a horrible history.

She says SFU plays in the National Collegiate Athletic Association, a league dominated by U.S. teams, and it香蕉视频直播檚 disrespectful to African-American competitors to force them to play against a team named The Clan.

Student wrestler Aliocha Perriard-Abdoh says the name once represent family to her but after reading the petition she believes the university should consider a change.

SFU spokesman Kurt Heinrich says the university is reviewing the situation and will consider what further steps, if any, might be taken to avoid possible misunderstandings related to the name.
