The term being referred to appears in a quote, though the quote is not attributed to a person or brochure. This means that the article did not refer to anyone as "Team Chittlins," as the original poster contends. Rather there must be some game in which there are two teams, one called Team "Broccoli" also.
People reading articles need to slow down and read more closely, even when an article sets off raw emotions.
Sounds like a good cause, actually.
