Tookie Update: Stadium formerly named after Arnold almost renamed Crips Stadium

This is possibly the last Tookie-related post which will ever appear here. (No matter, though, there is always Kim Jong Il.) From the New York Times:

The Schwarzenegger name has, as it were, been erased. The new name is now simply Stadion Graz-Liebenau (a district of Graz), though there were other proposals. One was to name the stadium after the Crips, the gang that Mr. Williams founded, but that idea did not get widespread support. Another was to name it Hakoah, after a Jewish sports club that was banned after Hitler annexed Austria in 1938.

Ok, I'm stretching the meaning of "almost"--hey, the idea only lacked "widespread support"! (Hat tip: Getting Nothing but Static from MSM)
