Thread Name: Celtic vs Celtic: Which is Correct?
Subject: RE: Celtic vs Celtic: Which is Correct?
I heard a news report on National Public Radio a few years ago, announcing that the Celtics basketball team in Boston had changed the pronunciation of its name to "keltic." The team also issued an apology to those who had been offended or felt discrimination by decades of mispronunciation of the name as "seltic."

I believe the date of the broadcast was April 1.
