Quite some time ago I complied a list of PC team names.
I have forgotten most of them, but here is sampling of NFL PC Nicknames
The New York Persons of Augmented Stature
The New York turbine powered aircraft
The New Orleans Pretty Good People.
The Kansas City Persons of Supreme Authority
St Louis Ovis Aries
Dallas Bovine Range Workers.
Indianapolis Equine Quadripeds
Minnesota Nordic Explorers
That's pretty good
What about that football team -- the Cleveland Persons of Tertiary Hue Comprised of Black, Yellow and Red ?
Or the Los Angeles Persons Who Evade Oncoming Vehicular Facilities of Public Transportation?
The Buffalo Williams?
Let's do 'em all
Why do I get the impression this would somehow water down the world of sportscasting...
Here's the problem. On planet PC names of colors are not allowed.
For Christ's sake I read a story where a newspaper in the SF Bay area banned the term "walking" from real estate classified ads. The staff claimed the word would offend people who could not walk. WTF!!!!
