Do you think Pete Maravich's nickname would be acceptable today? Happy birthday Pete!

    Good question, my guess it would be an issue to someone.

    Probably not. Today he would have been called water pistol Pete.

    Kids who wore pistol pete t-shirts to school would be forced to have mommy come in with a change of clothes, because
    it would be promoting gun violence.

    This would most likely happen at schools in Oakland, San Francisco, Chicago, NYC, Philadelphia, Detroit, or Newark/Camden.

    presumably, the Fan Club would know him as 2nd Amendment Pete.

    He would be banned by Adam Silver.

    Considering that finger pistols are banned, I don't think it would work out.

    Why not? If Andrei Kirilenko can call himself AK-47, then Pistol Pete is A-Ok.

    Look what happened to the Washington Bullets, lol. Eventually all pro athletes are going to be running around with elbow pads, helmets, wrapped in bubble wrap. The world is too dangerous otherwise, lol.

    Soccer players would consider that to be a biting comment.
