Though the Redskins have been named as such for 80 years, I find it curious that you have chosen now, as the guilty white crowd has begun their crusade, to take a bold stand. If this is how you felt, why did you wait so long to discuss it? Where were you in the ‘80’s? The ‘90’s?

Surely the Boston Celtics should be compelled to change their name. After all, their mascot is a winking shamrock-adorned leprechaun smoking a pipe; this hardly speaks to the dignity of my ancestors.

More illustrative of this point is the name and mascot of Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish. My word! If “Redskins” is enough to move you to action, surely the insistence that the Irish are prone to violence must enrage you, Bob!

After all, Notre Dame’s mascot is an angry, drunken leprechaun with his fists poised to deliver a punch. What should the politically correct individual derive from this? That we bog-jumpers are but violence-prone, shamrock-loving characters who love nothing more than a pint o’ Guinness and a good brawl.
