Dirty names on Patriot jerseys?
Has the word "gay" become a dirty word? Apparently -- at least if "Gay" happens to be a football player's name. Spurred by a case of "Gay" pride, Leigh Clemons tried to order a New England Patriots jersey on her computer last month. Clemons, an assistant professor in Louisiana State University's theater department, watched one of her former pupils, Patriots defensive back Randall Gay, play a key role in New England's 24-21 win against Philadelphia in Super Bowl XXXIX and wanted to show her support for the former LSU standout.Ben Gay? I'm surprised to see the NFL bend over for such crass commercialism. (No puns please.) posted by Eric on 04.05.05 at 02:27 PM

Might I suggest a name change to "Randall Sad"? It would fit right in with she wore a[n] African-American frock and drove a[n] African-American sedan.
