Beyond the comedy and the interesting characters you feature in each episode you manage to capture the people's real true unfiltered voice and inform your viewers about interesting issues in a lighthearted way. This is proof that journalism isn't dead, you are keeping it alive. Keep up the amazing work. Love from Aus

@@JGold-cu5mo If they knew anything about the Crusades they would have no problem with the name. The Crusades are no different to any other war and if we have a problem with that then we should take down the Knights, the Warriors, the Raiders, the Spartans, the Settlers and any other history based name.

[@jimmyp2674]

Why did the crusades start, buddy? It was after 400 years of invasions and murders of Christians. You SJWS always seem to forget that

Damn - laughing at the badminton team joke then instantly smacked down - only to be immediately hauled up by the collar for the remainder of the show. Valid point though...

[@AyeGee721]

If 'Crusaders' is bad name, then why are names like 'Vikings' any better...? Just a genuine question btw.

[@libertyprime6932]

Because Lefties are only crying about people who fought the "brown people". Vikings mainly killed white people so it's OK.

[@Spectrobe151]

Its not really much better, but considering the crusades were against muslims and the christchurch attack was against muslims too it looks really bad to have the representing team for canterbury be named after it. Plus the vikings weren't aiming to commit genocide like the crusaders were but they definitely ain't great either

[@mitchellgruninger9992]

@@Spectrobe151 crusades weren't about genocide but reclaiming land for Christans that Islamic people stole. Remember the Islamic expansion was a thing in which did commit genocides and displaced millions. Not saying the Christians are right I am an atheist but stuff like Babylon, Jerusalem, Bethlehem etc. The Islamic expansion ended up even taking control of Constantinople which was the last proper remanance of the Roman Empire called in modern terms as the Byzantine Empire. The Islamic expansion also took Spain which led to the reconquista. I don't hate Islam and I don't care about Christianity however if you were to actually look at history you can see why the Christians were mad and I don't understand why people want to demonise Christianity and make Islam look like a gem when it was truly awful at times. As an atheist it is just bizarre that certain people get a free pass for simply not being the western generic and all past crimes been paint scrapped away whilst others get forced down throats.

Clever although it could still have religious connotations if everybody starts calling them Quakers. XD although at least the Quakers are anti-war and early slave-abolitionists.

[@aquilarossa5191]

It looks like Guy should be working with the MOE on the school curriculum and how to get kids to take an interest, instead of it boring them to tears. If history class was more like this episode of NZT, kids would be lining up to take it. That would probably be a good thing, because a person that understands what they learn and how it applies to the world around them is usually more BS proof, e.g., spin doctoring, marketing, propaganda, partisan politics etc, etc.

Funny video and all, but the name Crusaders doesn't have to be linked to the Crusades.

[@jpkiwi8744]

The word “Crusade” came into use late, long after medieval Christian holy wars began. The Latin word crucesignatus, or “one marked by the cross,” first appeared in the early 1200s, more than a century after Urban II’s call to action in 1095. In English, “Crusade” and “Crusader” don’t appear until around 1700; by the 1800s, the term-defined broadly as a military campaign in defense of one’s faith.. ;-)
