BUT.......political correctness appears in many different subjects...........SPORTS, the way of life of many people needs a great overhaul. Congress, wasting their time on so many other useless things should take a look at that.....................as I'm sure they will.......
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 warriors, but 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 the militant Blacks from the 60's alive. Gone. 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 between
the states that cost this country so many young men's lives.
Besides, the South shall rise again!!.............SIMPLY because all shit floats.
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, Los Angeles Angels or the San
Diego Padres. The fact that there are birds on their shirts does not protect either the Arizona or the St. Louis Cardinals---gone!
Then there are the team names that glorify criminals who raped and
pillaged as their way of life. We are talking 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---and it is all about the children. The San Diego Chargers promote irresponsible 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... And
ohhhh...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".
SEE YOU SOON !!!!!
