Three reasons to permanently
switch the "Washington Wizards" back to the "Washington
Bullets":
The switch was based on a false piety in the first place.
Reportedly, team owner Abe Pollin was convicted to change the mascot back when
a friend was shot and murdered, after pondering the issue for a few years
prior. This switch was not really based on any hard correlation between a
city's behavior and its sports team representative. Rather, it was about
perception, and the decision was rightfully mocked by area journalists. But it
is hard to respect the argument that "Bullets" glorifies violence,
when the D.C. area still sits on the race-baiting "Redskins" nickname
for their pro football team. Not to mention, "Wizards" invokes
connotations with the Ku Klux Klan, according to some observers. Teammates
Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton marred the spiritual veil when
they got busted with firearms in the locker room And, finally, on
retro/throwback nights, the Wizards become the Bullets temporarily anyway!
When the team was still the Bullets, at least they had some success.
They won the NBA title, the franchise's only one, in 1978. Since the renaming
in 1997, there has not been much sunshine for the hometown fanatics. All they
have had is a line of sensational locker room tales and on-court futility. Even
majority owner Ted Leonsis was once quoted as admitting that making the
Washington basketball team a viable performer was as important as dealing with
the name issue. Because, expert crybaby victims, I mean "social justice
warriors" aside, professional sports are about business. That's why
"professional" is in the phrase.
Wizards are known to be gay pedophiles, while bullets are merely
dangerous projectiles. Well... perhaps there are some similarities there.
But, a bullet has no control over where its owner has fired it. A wizard, a
warlock, or a witch has a conscience, at least in theory... Our nation's
capital can be said to have an abundance of both bullets and wizards. The
Washington area residents see and know of their share of guns, even if the
murder rate has fluctuated up and down over the years. Meanwhile, Washington
politicians and bigwig shakers gather around pentagrams and idols, worship
devils, and approve of baby sacrifices (abortions), same as real wizards do.
Any small study of witches will reveal that they believe molesting and killing
small children gives them some power. However, bullets are more honest than wizards
and baby molesters. At least there's no misrepresentation with bullets. They
don't know how to lie and mask themselves like stinkin' women and men. Bullets
just get all up in you (oops, did it again). The way a quality sports team
should.
