    • Hamlin’s not even on the team and if the players themselves are voluntarily ok with taking the risk of playing a dangerous sport, I don’t think they’d care. Players usually like nicknames anyway.

    • NYC was in a recession in 1981 and they didn’t care when the Jets had the NY Sack Exchange defense nickname that year.

    • Steel Curtain during the height of the Cold War with the threat of nukes isn’t great optics either but no one cares about the name.

    • It’s a game. No one’s actually advocating for the death penalty, it’s a nickname. You could name the defense whatever you want, that still doesn’t minimize the optics or risk of injury, so objecting is pretty pointless.
