MIAMI, Florida - (Sports Satire) - In this day of politically correct this and politically correct that, now comes this, down the sports pike.
The powers that be at the NCAA have just informed the dean, the president, and the school board that the university of Miami must drop their team nickname the Hurricanes.
The NCAA is acting on thousands of complaints from fans, residents, and tourists who have found themselves in the eye of Hurricanes.
The consensus is that every time they hear the name Miami Hurricanes, it conjures up unpleasant memories in their minds.
One fan of the Miami Hurricanes (the team not the storm) said that back in September of 1998, he found himself smack dab in the middle of catastrophic category 4 Hurricane Cinderella, and it was a horrible experience.
He said that his trailer ended up on top of a nearby McDonalds, and his neighbor found his pet flamingo (Pinky) four blocks away hiding in the frozen food section of a local Walmart.
SIDENOTE: The NCAA has suggested to the university of Miami that they change the name from the Hurricanes to the Miami Citrus Pickers.
