Change the Nashville Predators name

The Issue

The Nashville Predators are an NHL team who were very successful last season and made it to the Stanley Cup Finals, before losing in 7 games to the Pittsburgh Penguins. I have nothing against the Preds, their players, or their fans, but their name offends me on a personal level. "Predator" is a term often used to refer to individuals who entice minors in online messaging boards. This is the exact work that the beautiful Chris Hansen has tried to stop so many times, but it makes it very difficult to rid the world of these vile people when we have a sports team named after them. I propose that we change their name to something more family-friendly, like the "Nashville Tigers", that would not only help to get rid of the influence that these internet sex predators have, but it would also make the team more marketable to a young audience, and God knows nobody cares about hockey in Tennessee, so they could use all of the help that they could get.
