React to Names of Sport Teams
There is
another minority in
There are
millions of you out there! You know who
you are. Here is a description of
members of this forgotten class. People with an Ancestor who came from country
A. This ancestor met a spouse getting
off the boat at
Their son married a girl who was daughter of immigrants from country C. Their second son crossed the river and married the girl whose family had just come up the river from “down under”. The youngest child; a girl; ran off with that traveling salesman who said he was from the “continent”.
A few generations go by. There are now twenty different lines of descendents scattered across the country. Not one of those descendents has any clue that the blood of ancestors from at least three other continents is running through their veins!
With all
those variations in the blood type of one individual person; why are those
various blood types not killing each other?
Consider this: Country A hates Country C. Country B would get along with Country F, if it was not for the relationship with Country J. So instead of killing each other, they get offended at people, monuments and athletic teams that make some kind of reference to their heritage. Consider the current trend with Professional Sports for an example, let’s see….
There is that
blood type “E”. That bloodline starts screaming at what it perceives as the
misuse of the terms “Redskins, Indians, Braves and Chiefs”. That can be fixed when last years football Super
Bowl Champion gets renamed. Why stop renaming
teams with the Washington Redskins? The
Washington Football team is an offending name.
It is a reminder that the team is supposed to be from
Now let’s look at blood type “H”. It gets offended EVERYTIME religion comes up. Every time the “Saints or Padres” are mentioned. How unholy! What a headache every time some band plays “When the Saints…” or “Take me out to…” during the 7th.
Let’s not mention what happens when one of the bloodlines hears the term Pirates, Buccaneers, or Vikings! Boy oh Boy, that blood “R” from Great-Great-Great Uncle Jack wants to go do some pillaging and raiding. Shiver me timbers, blood starts boiling enough to make someone walk the plank!
Then there are other names that conjure up memories from ancestors that really get someone thinking of the past! We do not want to be reminded of the past, do we? Shame on them.
Marching of the “Panthers”. Was that the 60’s? That has to go. How about “Patriots”? Too much blood shed during the 1770’s….blood, blood, blood… Don’t recall, did we learn anything about that decade while in school?
49ers? Were they not the ones that tore up and destroyed landscape, selfishly looking for Gold? Destroying the environment, how rude! Got to change that.
What about all those “BIRDS”? The hunter blood type from “down under” has a real fear of them. Get rid of them! Eagles, Falcons, Seahawks, Blackhawks, Jayhawks, While-Yellow-Green-Pink BIRDS!
Oh…..I got a
vision of Gregory Peck being chased by a huge Raven…I’m shaking in fright at
the thought.
Solution? Hear is the EASY solution.
Add up all the years of accumulated “wisdom” from ALL those generations of intelligent ancestors. How many decades of education and experience among them all? Maybe not much, but THAT group of Kaleidoscopic AMERICAns, from EVERY land mass on the planet came up with this plan. It is the most logical, sure fire, perfect, alternative to fix all these so called issues from ever happening again! Want to hear it? Too bad. After all, you are the one reading this, so here it is anyway.
EVERY ATHLETIC SPORT TEAM has to change their name! That’s it. Nothing more.
Start on the West coast and go North to South and then West to East. Professional Sport teams are renamed. They change the name to: Football Team A – the next one is called Football Team B – etc. Baseball teams will become: Baseball Team A – the next one is called Baseball Team B. Go through each sport the same way. This plan is fool proof. It can be done for Professional and Collegiate!
Wow, is that not the SIMPLIST idea to come along since sliced bread? Oops, better retract that last analogy, it may be offensive to peanut butter or bologna.
Of course that is, it is fool proof until….
Until, it offends those suffering from Grammaphobia! Then the best choice is using numbers.
Oops, that would offend those suffering from Numerophobia.
Looking out for one’s own selfish desires, means that…SOMEONE WILL ALWAYS GET OFFENDED
Oh well, guess YOU CANNOT PLEASE EVERYONE!
Isn’t that where this all started? Trying to please everyone?
