    Political correctness and professional sports

    Well, it is now official.

    The Cleveland Indians' logo--Chief Wahoo--was retired a full year ago. (And his excessive grin was, indeed, rather silly-appearing.)

    But now the team name--the "Indians" was named after a former player, Louis Sockalexis, who was a Penobscot Indian--has given way, after more than a century, to the bland term "Guardians."

    In another sport, the Washington Redskins is already a thing of the past. (They just have never received a replacement name.)

    Who will be next?

    The Atlanta Braves? (They say that they will never change their team name. But time will tell, I suppose.)

    The Kansas City Chiefs?

    The Chicago Blackhawks?

    Thw Golden State Warriors?

    Or, perhaps, someone else?

    The name “Yankees” is offensive. We can’t have that.


    Patriots? That should be banned for obvious reasons


    We can’t have the 49ers any more as they raped the land.


    Cowboys? Nope. You can’t have Cowboys if Redskins are off limits


    The Texans? Texas is a racist state so that’s out.


    The Steelers? That’s bad because smelters poisoned the environment.


    The Saints is obviously a reference to religion. Get rid of it.


    The Browns is ridiculing brown people.




    Vikings are White supremacists so that needs to be eliminated.




    The Packers is bad because it glorifies the killing of animals for food.





    Naming a team the Giants marginalizes little people. Can’t have that.



    We need a complete overhaul.
