In Seattle the Quakers are the football etc. teams of Franklin High School, which I imagine got their nickname (which is potentially just as irritating as "Chiefs", etc.) from the mistaken notion that since Pennsylvania was founded by Quakers (or at least, by a Quaker) and Benjamin Franklin came to fame in Philadelphia, he must have been Quaker NOT! Anyhow, I don't think the Quakers are particularly pacifistic on the football gridiron, and on top of all that it's a public school so how come my tax dollars go to support the Quakers, eh? Etc.
