Womp'em Baby!

You probably haven't heard of this but the NCAA is going to ban the use of logos and nicknames that are deemed "hostile" and "offensive" starting February for postseason play only. And when I say "hostile" and "offensive" I mean American Indian type monikers like Seminoles, Braves, Redskins, etc. No team will be allowed to display a logo or nickname on their banners or uniforms in the postseason. The regular season is apparently ok, but the postseason. Oh man, that's where they draw the line.

Are these guys serious? Let's get one thing straight. Yes all those kinds of nicknames are offensive. I can empathize with that. However, what the balls dude. It's just a f%#king nickname. I highly doubt most American Indians these days really give a rat's ass anymore about their heritage being used as a team mascot. I'm aware we as a people being used to something doesn't make it wrong, but no one really cares anymore. Hell, they should be honored! I would not only not find it offensive, but I'd be honored if their were a school named, I don't know, something like the University of Staten Island Guidos or something. That'd be sweet! Can you imagine the hilarious mascot logo they'd have for it? It'd be something like this I'm sure.

Seriously, what is the NCAA thinking? Just the postseason? Ok, ok. So when Miami plays Florida State in basketball in like December or January everything is cool. We can wave flags with ingins on 'em and everything is fine. But Lord help us if there's any type of a feather on a uniform or something come the ACC tournament in March. That's when the NCAA throws down. What a punch of pillowbiters. I hate FSU and I'm behind them on this. Er, behind them as in I support them. Not behind them in the buttsex way...

I don't understand why it's only the NCAA too. I'm pretty sure more people have heard of the Washington Redskins than have heard of the Alcorn State Braves or North Dakota Fighting Sioux. The whole system is a joke. A joke I tell you. And not just any joke. A bad joke. A joke so bad it makes you want to say, "wow, that was just a really bad joke." The kind of joke you might have used to make fun of a friend in grade school but then later realized was pretty lame when you got older. Yea, that kind of joke. Douches.

I think if I were to go to the Canes/Noles game on September 5th (should be win number six in a row!) I'd make a sign that read, "the NCAA smokes pole, go Ingins, go Ingins, I love those wacky featherheads...just kidding, go Canes!" You might be thinking to yourself, wow that's really offensive. You might also be thinking, did I leave the stove on when I left the house this morning? Well the answer is yes. And if you turn on that light you will die. Go ahead, do it. I dare you. Pussy.

But seriously, folks. I love all people. Each and every one of them and making fun of them is just one way of showing that I vote for equality on the ballot of life. I love them all. I love dots. I love Ingins. I love kykes. I love gooks. I love dagos. I love wetbacks. I love spicks and I love frogs. And I loooooove niggers. But I hate Canadians. Just kidding, I love maple syrup!

To everyone offended by those racial epithets, take it easy. Just pushing some buttons. I mean no disrespect. If you can't learn to take it in stride we'll never grow as a society. So take care of yourself...and each other.
