All that idiotic political correctness about changing a teams name is so completely asinine... There's a movement to stop using the reference to the main bedroom in the house as the master bedroom because it's racist, the word master should be changed to main, the main bedroom... we need to do away with the word penmanship, it's sexist, we should call it penpersonship... and also, at the end of every prayer we should stop saying amen, we should say aperson...

Wouldn't they know what the law says?
