Day 21 - A Cougar by any Other Name...

I recently read that a team in Utah is going to have to choose a new team nickname as the one chosen, "Cougars" just might be found offensive by middle-aged women. Are you kidding me?  Well if we are going to be oh so politically correct, shouldn't heavy weight people be offended by UCONN's team, the Huskies? That would make about as much sense.
I think this country has gone way too far in trying to appease every single solitary sect/semi sect/minuscule sect in this country. I say it is time for common sense to prevail. When a nickname for a sports team is equated to a slang name for middle aged women, common sense has left the building. The logo for the team was a magnificent animal, not some hot mama looking for a young buck. Wise up you folks in Utah, somehow I think a hot middle aged woman who is still attracting young virile men, isn't going to be too upset with being known as a cougar. By the way they opted for the team name, the Chargers - could be offensive to folks who owe way too much on their credit cards...just sayin'.
