This is supposedly a letter sent to Clarence Page of the Chicago Trib in response to his piece on changing team names Not sure of its validity but it is funny

This turned a bit dirty at the end. Nyuck Nyuck.

I suggest changing the nane to Palefaces.

Thirty years ago I used to crack up at the team names in Oregon. Ducks and Beavers. The country’s first metrosexual teams.

There are more team names which should be changed.

Dallas Cowboys is offensive to real cowboys.

Boston Celtics is offensive to the Celtic people.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish is offensive to the Irish.

Green Bay Packers is offensive to real meat packers.

New England Patriots and Philadelphia 76ers hearken back to the American Revolution, which means those names have to go.

Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat are celebrating the evils of global warming.

I’m sure others are offensive for various reasons.

My vote is for the Washington Foreskins.

What about the New England Patriots? I’m sure most patriots back then were either slve traders, slave owners, or those who turned a blind-eye to the whole issue of slavery.

Excellent letter!

Drop the name of our first President from the name of the city and that “team” as well. Just call the city the “District of Columbia” and that “team” The Swamp Rats. Oh, while were at it, the “Nationals” should be called the “Post Turtles”, for more than obvious reasons.

Washington Redskins can save a few bucks by going full Cincinnati and keep their existing jerseys by just changing the stitching and renaming themselves the Reds.But I hesitate to recommend it because Reds in DC might conjure up images of Democrats taking over the Federal government and scaring the children.
