I’m surprised he didn’t give it a tryout for RB

Lolita was born into a resident pod in Puget Sound in the mid 60s. I don't remember the exact number, but somewhere around 70 or 80 of her pod mates and relatives were captured from the waters off Whidbey Island in a single event in 1970 and sold into captivity; she is the sole survivor of those orcas. Non-partisan efforts of the governments of Washington state and the province of British Columbia have petitioned for her repatriation for around 30 years. When the movement started in the 90s, the then-owner of the Miami Seaquarium rebuffed such efforts saying "I don't want hippies stealing my whale." (Never mind for the moment that orcas are not whales)
This move back to PNW has been more or less finalized since March or April of this year, Irsay is just agreeing to provide (some) funding. I mean, it's not like he's spending the money on running backs.
Seeing Lolita in person in the late 80s is what turned me off on the idea of captive orcas.

I'm a big fan of nature, I support animals, I've never killed an animal, I never will kill an animal, my wife loves sea life, she's a diver, and snorkeler and all that ****...
If someone tells me that this whale has an indigenous name, I drive over to the nearest gun show, buy that thing that shoots down helicopters, and I ****** explode that stupid whale like in that old news report and then I take everyone responsible and I mush their stupid face in the remaining whale goo...

No no no...you want to name a wild animal, go right ahead...that's as far as it goes. Stage name, ****** indigenous name, as if it can read and write and you figured it out from the whale's fourth grade homework assignments or some ****...no. I hope the whale eats everyone responsible for any of that.
I can't even root for this to work anymore...clicking the link actually gave me too much information about this, and now I hate it, and I hope a drunk driver with a HAZMAT tank full of whale fuel runs a red light right into that whale's dumb ****** blowhole and kills everyone involved...

She was called Lolita because she was significantly younger than her male penmate when she was first taken to Miami. So.............The people who put her in the cage. Probably the same people who thought Lolita was a stage name that "represented a showgirl" and not, you know, Lola.Who's 'they' in that?
But I'm not sure what you mean by "that's why they put her in a cage". Because local indigenous people had already given her a tribal name, the Seaquarium folks wanted to give her a less mikey-triggering style name?

Well that at least makes more sense than the article MIMH posted.She was called Lolita because she was significantly younger than her male penmate when she was first taken to Miami. So.............
It's only a joke, Focker.But I'm not sure what you mean by "that's why they put her in a cage". Because local indigenous people had already given her a tribal name, the Seaquarium folks wanted to give her a less mikey-triggering style name?

Can't believe tif picked this whale to die on.

the local indigenous people didn’t name her until 2018. The first “indigenous” name was from the vet at the Miami Aquarium
it’s all dumb. I feel bad for the whale

I bet the indigenous people are like four white chicks from Boca Raton who found out they have 1/32 Cherokee DNA from their 23&Me test.
