I was hoping it would be a bear in a duffle coat.

come off it lads, The Inca's sounds great! 

I know it does, just couldn't resist. I am in full support of any expansion of our great game?

Unless they all of Incan descent, it's a dumb name.

Where are you from?

You're doing a fine job Pulga in expanding RL. 

Thanks mate although I've only really had a small part to do with this project. I've only really consulted on this one.

Very excited to see where this goes.

I think this is more like the white New Zealanders doing the haka. 

Nobody cares and hopefully nobody ever will.

Another bit of good news and great stuff.

Though I am expecting Parky et al to arrive and say it's not what Perez promised!

A very colonial attitude. That's why it's a dumb nickname and caricature.

Stop projecting your problems onto the people whose opinion actually matters.

Ask a Peruvian if it bothers them. If it doesn't then zip it.

You've got colonial problems if you think in an Incan is the same as a Peruvian. They should have a say in who uses their culture, not some some Australian expat. , Peruvian or not.

Have you spent much time in Peru, Smoketrail? Almost everyone in the country claims "Indian" descent, the exceptions mainly being recent immigrants from Japan etc. The biggest selling soft drink in the country is Inca Kola. I've never heard anyone express dislike at the national football team being called "Los Incas" - even people from the minority non-Quechua  speaking groups.
