How about Pearl Harbor 1941?

So just mere weeks from MLS 2006 and the Houston team still cannot decide on a team name. You know the main story, and you probably will remember that I hinted originally that there was some hesitation over that selection.

It looks like we will hear a new named announced very soon (by the weekend?) and prepare yourself for something boring and uncontroversial.

Mark me as someone that thinks the stink over the name smells worse than what the controversy itself. Has it struck anyone else as ironic that if you stretch the logic that "1836" is offensive to its full conclusion, should not the name "Houston" then be even more offensive?
