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 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 all 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!! )

I am also offended by the blatant references to the Catholic religion among our football 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"! Gone!

Now, let us address those teams that clearly send the wrong message to our children---and it is all about the children.

The Green Bay "Packers" and the St. Louis "Rams"--promote gay men. Wrong message to our 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.
A high priority directly behind efficiently managing our country's health care. Amen.

I guess I should be grateful I became a Toronto Maple Leafs fan and the Toronto FC fan and the Toronto Blue Jays and the Toronto Argonauts. Geez, no wonder we can win anything. Too damn politically correct!!!

America isn't touchy. It's the PC Liberals who don't have a life of their own, so they try to insinuate their way into ours. It's their way of saying,"Look at me, I'm Somebody."

I understood you fine -- when did America get so touchy?, we used to be so much more relaxed about things, now everyone has to carry a banner, have a cause, cry when someone looks at them wrong. "Mommy, Johnny stuck his tongue out at me."We have become a country of cry babies. Time for Americans to toughen up.
