Where "R" U on this?
Dear Mr. Page...
I always love your articles. and I generally agree with them.
I would suggest, as in an email I received, they change the name
to the "Foreskins" to better represent their community, paying
tribute to the dick heads in Congress.
Here are some other politically correctness to consider:
I agree with our Native American population. I am highly insulted
by the racially charged name of the Washington Redskins. One might
argue that to name a professional football team after Native
Americans would exalt them as fine warriors, but nay, nay.
We must be careful not to offend, and in the spirit of political
correctness and courtesy, we must move forward. Let's ditch the
Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians.
If your shorts are in a wad because of the reference the name Redskins
makes to skin color, then we need to get rid of the Cleveland Browns.
The Carolina Panthers obviously were named to keep the memory of militant
Blacks from the 60's alive. Gone. It's offensive to us white folk.
The New York Yankees offend the Southern population.
Do you see a team named for the Confederacy? No!
There is no room for any reference to that tragic war that
cost this country so many young men's lives.
I am also offended by the blatant references to the Catholic
religion among our sports team names. Totally inappropriate
to have the New Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Angels or the San Diego Padres.
Then there are the team names that glorify criminals who raped
and pillaged. We are talking about the horrible Oakland Raiders,
the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh Pirates!
Now, let us address those teams that clearly send the wrong message to our children.
The San Diego Chargers promote irresponsible fighting or even spending habits.
Wrong message to our children.
The New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants promote obesity, a
growing childhood epidemic. Wrong message to our children.
The Cincinnati Reds promote downers/barbiturates . Wrong message to our children.
The Milwaukee Brewers---well that goes without saying . . .
Wrong message to our children.
So, there you go. We need to support any legislation that comes out to
rectify this travesty, because the government will likely become involved
with this issue, as they should. Just the kind of thing the do-nothing congress loves . . .
As a die-hard Oregon State fan, my wife and I, with all of this in mind,
it might also make some sense to change the name of the Oregon State women's
athletic teams to something other than "the Beavers."
Keep those cards and letters coming.
