[QUOTE="Topper, post: 1074843, member: 186250"] I was in but now I may not bother at all:- Dear Sir / Madam, Your team name was deemed offensive and was renamed to "CHANGE NAME". Please change it to something more suitable. It is possible that the name has been flagged in error. If this is the case, we apologise for any inconvenience and please feel free to change it back using the following link: [URL="https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry-update"]Fantasy Premier League, Official Fantasy Football Game of the Premier League[/URL] Please note that if a name could potentially be considered offensive by others in the game then it will be changed. If you repeatedly choose names which are deemed offensive then your account will be deleted, please keep this in mind when choosing a name for your team. We will not enter into correspondence over individual names. Regards, Support My reply Dear Sir or madam I have been using the same handle for my team name for at least 14 years, why is it someone somewhere can suddenly finds it offensive? In the north of England where I was born and live a tosser is a derogatory term for an idiot I just happen to have a team of them The dictionary definition is someone who throws things, like in the highland games, someone [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caber_toss']who tosses the caber is called a tosser[/URL] Quite frankly I see no reason to find my team name offensive unless someone is completely OTT and obsessively hung up on the third possible definition i.e. Someone that masturbates, men do, women do, and animals do, so what is all this PC BS after so many years of using this handle. Everyone in my league knows me as that I will be changing it back shortly unless you prefer to just ban me straight off, I am pretty certain that I could find handles that are far more offensive based upon the fact that a word in one language means something else in another or a different dialect of the same, why the imbalance in this case?
