Nah. Papa shango. Old school wwf style

I seriously do not like "voodoo" as a nickname for an African-American. To me, it conjures up negative images/stereotypes of Blacks (certain island and African cultures). Seriously, it has tones of racism to me.

Back to the pee trough Otto.

 

[albanycuse]

or, with his cool, calm demeanor and surgical precision at dissecting defenses, combined with his facial hair: Evil Spock or just the more elegant Evil Ennis

Thats why i named him ennis the surgeon for his surgical precision. Or the Dr.

[MELOKEITH]

A bit wordy, but how about "not shaky potatoes" Ennis or "steady potatoes" Ennis

 

[rocklloyd]

Thinburger?

 

[jordoo]

Whenever I watch him...he is one cool cat...therefor he is the "sultan of swing"

"Sultans of Swing" was what turned me on to Dire Straights never really listened to them before.

Ennis = Ice man, Cooney = Maverick. If you don't like top gun references I don't know what to tell you.

I can respect that you are uncomfortable with it, but I disagree that it has tones of racism to it. I wonder if that may be a generational difference.

Generational? Isn't Haiti (and all its sad problems) still very much with us today? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_Vodou

By sad, I mean it is by far the poorest country in the western hemisphere ... and it has been held back, in part, because of its culture. I help support an orphanage there, and the reports I receive from it would make you cry.

I kinda like The Iceman. Like The Iceman cometh.

 

[4evaOrange]

I'm going to use T.Dot

 

[IthacaMatt]

Dislike. Voodoo? He's not from New Orleans. Voodoo has nothing to do with his name. Not good.

What's New Orleans got to do with it? I thought everyone knew that voodoo comes from Ontario.

Ennis is from Canada.

Ennis is from Canada.

I was talking about voodoo... not about Ennis. I know Ennis is from Canada. I was trying to point out why voodoo was an inappropriate nickname for him

 

[DNABB5]

I still like the Canadian companion to shaky potatoes. That great northern potato dish, full of gravy and cheese curds.

Poutaine.

And sorry OitG, but voodoo is a nogo. Kind of disappointed in you.

Salt Potatoes works too.

You are making a huge huge huge leap. I get you are probably more sensitive to the word due to your situation with Haiti but jumping to the racist card in this instance is overreacting.

Voodoo is a cult in Haiti that is helping to keep Haiti the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. What in the world does it have to do with Tyler Ennis?

 

[Bayside44]

It's a shame Scoop was already taken.

Context.

Context.

What "context" is there ... other than that voodoo is a Haitian religion/cult? That has ZERO to do with Tyler Ennis. It makes no sense as his nickname.
