I Have Never Witnessed Such Insensitivity

January 8, 2014

I recently watched a television program where an evil-looking terrorist type rode around on a horse throwing flaming spears around.  Tens of thousands of people participated in some kind of war chant while making motions with their arms like they wanted to chop someone’s head off.  Some of them wore war paint and dressed like Indians on the warpath.  And they screamed their heads off for four hours.  What a scene.

I speak of course of the BCS National Championship collegiate football game between the Auburn Tigers (cute, cuddly little critters) and the Florida State University Seminoles.  All of this television exposure to such outrageously politically-incorrect behavior is sure to lead to calls to change the name to something more acceptable.
