The Houston Cincos.

We certainly apologize to those who feel wronged or insulted. We're listening to their concerns, and we're carefully analyzing the situation. We want everyone to be part of Major League Soccer in Houston.

On one hand they're very sensitive to hurt feelings, and on the other hand MLS allowed CD Chivas USA into the league, whose parent club in Mexico proudly dicriminates against foreigners and naturalized Mexicans, who cannot play for Chivas. MLS is clearly casting its lot with the Mexican illegal immigrant population, and doesn't care what any other ethnic group thinks. The league thinks its future is in playing the pro-Mexican race card.

Thursdays at the ballpark can be "Free Illegal Immigrant" night. Free beer to illegal's that can provide evidence of past criminal records in Mexico who can show a phony U.S. driver's license, an unregistered vehicle and no insurance.

Yeah, no kidding. Or to those that can overpower the ushers at the turnstyles to get in for free anyway. LOL

Dear PC Police : F.O.A.D. (F--- Off And Die). Ruining Bugs Bunny wasn't good enough for you. Now you have to mess with football teams. I guess next will be them calling for the Atlanta Braves to be renamed the Atlanta Crawdads...nope, that might offend the vegans....the Atlanta Warriors...nope, that might offend the anti-war activists...the Atlanta Anuses...hey, the gays might like that name. :)

And one more thing for the PC Police : You suck. Get used to it. Get over it.
