The Birmingham Niggers are a professional minor-league baseball team from Birmingham, Alabama.
Extreme controversy surrounds the team's name, its mascot "Rufus" (pictured), and its policies.
Many opponents refuse to play scheduled games against the Niggers for these reasons, and some that do compete will not publish results of the contests. Likewise, most news outlets refuse to advertise upcoming games or print any statistics for the team.
This is unfortunate, because the statistics are remarkable: Forfeits to the Niggers have produced entire seasons in which the team went undefeated.
"I don't understand the fuss [about the name]," says team manager Albin Whitely. "It's part of our team's history and heritage."
The Niggers have a long-standing, albeit one-sided, rivalry with the Mississippi Albinos.
