The Washington Redskins, Cleveland Indians and Atlanta Braves are all under pressure to change their team names in the interest of political correctness. I cant offer solutions for all teams, but I do believe the correct new name for the Braves would be the Atlanta Cowards. It is the absolute antithesis of Braves The name would better reflect the character of those that would support a name change in the pursuit of offending no one.<\/p>\n
Who wouldnt want to leave the college ranks to turn professional and play for the Cowards? Who wouldnt want to cheer for the Cowards? Run Cowards Run! The team uniforms could feature a large yellow streak running down the back of the jersey, and the team mascot could be an opossum. The opossum rolls over and plays dead when confronted. It is a perfect selection. The team fight song would be Kumbaya, which could be sung on one knee. While it is said that there is no crying in baseball, the Cowards would not only be allowed but encouraged to cry to express their sensitivities. All games would be played during the day so the Cowards wouldnt have to go home in the dark.<\/p>\n
Well, I have solved Atlantas critical issue. Now Ive got to work on straightening out Washington. That might be a little more difficult.<\/p>\n
