Understood. Frankly he'd be better off running in either Indiana or Florida. His VICIOUS anti LGBTQ attitude is too far right for Michigan. He also turns 71 next year so he'd have one or two terms at best.

I get it. As a lifelong Boston sports fan, I love the baseball Curt Schilling who pitched my beloved Red Sox to the World Series in 2004. I ABHOR his politics.
Side note: Some day, I hope Bostonians will learn to pronounce "Celtics" with an initial /k/, thus тАУ rather than bowing to Latin тАУ choosing to honor the ancient languages of Irish and Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish, Breton and Manx. It pains me to constantly hear Bostonians say Celtic with a soft /c/.
What does Latin have to do with it? C in Classical Latin was pronounced K. Anyway, your hope is moot in the U.S. sense. Bostonians will use the pronunciation they use, and it certainly won't change after all the historic Celtics championship teams.
The video explains that. Latin, lacking a K, used C, which was indeed pronounced /k/, as you point out. However, under the influence of French, the pronunciation of the written C was changed to a soft C. William the Conqueror brought those linguistic sensibilities to the British Isles, impacting English тАУ but not the other languages of the islands, i.e. the languages of the Celts (hard /k/, not Selts).
Apparently in Scottish Gaelic it's pronounced like an S rather than a K. The Glasgow, Scotland based Celtic Football Club (or Celtic) - which as the name implies has always been popular with Scottish people of Irish and Catholic diaspora - also pronounces the first letter as an S rather than a K.

As a lifelong Boston sports fan, I enjoyed watching Tony Dungy lose to the Patriots a lot.

Ouch. CanтАЩt argue with football-besotted Glaswegians, nor Scots in general (the English have been trying for centuries).
Ok, I relent and promise never again to pick an argument with a Seltics fan!
