Redskins
In one of the many stop lights on my way to work, I happen to stop right behind a car with two very familiar bumper stickers, the first said “I support organ and tissue donation” on the other side of the vehicle was “Redskins” bumper sticker. At first, it seemed inconsequential, but as I drove off I somehow connected the tissue part of the first sticker with the skins part of the second, stay with me now- skins, red? Are they talking about color of skin here? Is their skin really red? Even if they were, is it OK to call a bunch of steroid laden thugs in tights chasing a pigskin ball- Redskins?
Would it be OK to start a professional athletic team and call it the “The Pale Faces” or “The Negro’s”? Our pretense of political correctness usually overlooks simple everyday disparities- and that is a fact. As for the organ and tissue donation part, I hope their convictions are a little more than "skin deep".
