Inappropriate Names - Draft Class

Someone at 2k has gotta change up their language policy. Not only are all these names disallowed:
Conrad
Cassell
Chapman
Conway
Conley
Scott Pollard
Hasselhoff
Diop
Gay
Dickerson
Perez
Dion

But while creating a draft class, 3 other names were disallowed: Chasson (in Stanford SG Chasson Randle), Connaughton (in Notre Dame C Pat Connaughton), and McCullough (in Syracuse PF Chris McCullough). This is unbelievable. While I can kind of get it with Chasson Randle, but what is inappropriate about Connaughton? Con is the phrase getting triggered, I don't understand what is inappropriate about that though. Anyway, this needs to be changed, I want accuracy in my draft class.

Re: Inappropriate Names - Draft Class

I couldn't use my usual MyCareer player name this year since apparently "Dion" is suddenly inappropriate...

Maybe I'm wrong but, it's a game selling internationally right, and "Con" is a bad word in French (same as jerk in English). But that may have nothing to do with it, I don't know, just a guess.

To add to the list of "con" names, cannot add Dwayne Bacon to the 2016 class either.
