Washington Redskins 


Dear Mr. Page...(Chicago Tribune) 

I always love your articles. and I generally agree with them. 

I would suggest, that they change the name of the Washington Redskins to the "Foreskins" to better represent their community, paying tribute to the dick heads in Congress. 

Here are some other politically correct issues 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. 

Don’t   get me started about the USC Trojans !  As a die-hard Oregon State fan, it might also make some sense to change the name of the Oregon State women's athletic teams to something other than "the Beavers."
