I'm not sure there is a 'level of discontent' Shane, just a few comments.
I'd assumed Red Kite was just rhyming slang :-)

Don't remember this level of discontent when we were sponsored by Red Kite....

Agree with you re the word United, but aren't with you on the red thing - their
fanzine is Red Issue, there is the laughable Red Army (although I believe Mao
expressed his discontent!). It's not the end of the world, but I can understand
why people might be miffed.
Theatre of Dreams does make me swear every single time I hear a commentator say
it though!

I really hate / don't get this 'red is Manchester United' way of thinking. To
me it totally over inflates their importance to us and the world in generalRed
is a colour. Lots of things come in red. You see it in nature (flowers, fruit
etc) and on cars, clothes etc.
When I see 'red' I do not think ManU - it is bad enough that they have stolen
the name 'United' without giving them the colour red as well. That is even
before thinking that Liverpool, Barnsley and loads of other clubs refer to
themselves as 'the reds'
It is a colour it is NOT Manchester United - F*** them, they are not that
important (and don't forget we have actually played in red shirts at least once
!)
