Wouldn't the city name in and of itself be offensive to Mexican-Americans since the city is named after the general who led the charge in the decisive battle that secured Texas its independence in the first place? </BLOCKQUOTE>

The irony is certainly delicious though. A Texas sports team folding under pressure from the Mexicans regarding a reference to the point in time that Texas revolted against Mexican control.
