 A tad sarcastic but he hit the nail on the head with all this bs political
correctness



   Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune received the following email after
his published article concerning a name change for the Washington Redskins:



   Dear Mr.  Page, I always love your articles and generally agree with
them.  I would suggest they change the team name to the "Foreskins" to
better represent their community and pay tribute to the nearby dick heads
in Congress.

   I agree with our Native American population and am insulted by the
racially charged Washington Redskins name.  One might argue that to name a
pro 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 someone's shorts are in a wad because of the Redskins' reference to
skin color, then we need to rename 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.  After all, 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 lives.

   I am also offended by the blatant references to the Catholic religion
among the names of our sports teams: New Orleans Saints, Los Angeles Angels
and San Diego Padres.

   Others glorify criminals who raped and pillaged......those horrible
Oakland Raiders, Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Pittsburgh
Pirates!

   Let's address 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.

   So there you go.  I support any legislation that rectifies this
travesty. The government will likely become involved with this issue of
team names because it's just the kind of thing our do-nothing Congress
loves.

   With all this in mind, die-hard Oregon State fans might agree that it
makes sense to change the name of the university's women's teams to
something other than the "Beavers."
