The Essendon Football Club is a member of Australian Football League and is also known as "The Bombers". It refers to a bomber plane as is obvious from its insignia. Moreover it has been known by this name for over a hundred years.
After the recent terrorists attacks in London, there has been a serious suggestion that the name should be changed. An opposition coach has suggested "The Gliders" as a suitable alternative, which would be all very funny if it were not for the fact that I support that particular team. :mad:
"The Bombers" coach did not dignify the suggestion with a response. Which is to demonstrate that at least some of us can maintain our sense of proportion in these trying times.
