"Hambone was done on the plantation by African captives and was used at minstrel shows to entertain Khalfani White audiences. It is nor appropriate to use as a name for a sports team," Salim Khalfani, state executive director, charged at a press conference held outside The Diamond ballpark. "If Hambone is selected as the name, what will the team mascot or logo be?" he continued. "Would it be a caricature of a Sambo, slave, minstrel or A1 Jolson in White face?" "Mr. Mayor (Dwight C. Jones), members of City Council, Richmond Sports Backers, Venture Richmond and all other organizations that should know better are conspicuous by their silence," he stated. The NAACP protest was the final straw, in a media statement, Richmond Professional Baseball announced within hours that it had "removed the term Hambones from considera tion' and offered "a sincere apology to those that may have been offended by our mistake" in including the name. Pink from page B9 Officers. "Early detection is the necessary measure for beating this dreaded disease. We must continue to conduct research as we also adopt healthy lifestyles of diet, exer cise and positive thinking." This is the second year in a row that the conference has participated in the breast can cer awareness campaign. The MEAC's awareness campaigned kicked off during Morgan State's recent nation ally televised 14-7 victory against Howard. It continued Saturday with the Hampton at Norfolk State and Florida A&M at South Carolina State games, followed by the Oct. 24 Morgan State at Delaware State, North Carolina A&T at Howard, Norfolk State at Florida A&M, Winston-Salem State at Bethune-Cookman and South Carolina State at Dr. Reed u Hampton contests and con cludes with the Oct. 31 Howard at Norfolk State, Bethune-Cookman at North Carolina A&T and Delaware State at South Carolina State games. "Any time you're dealing with sports and have an opportunity to put your opin ions in so many households and direct interest subliminal ly from football to breast can cer, it is a great thing," Coach Hill-Eley Morgan State coach Donald Hill-Eley says. "For years sports has brought out things people couldn't talk about on their own whether it was Civil Rights or breast cancer. It's an opportunity to make a differ ence. It is much needed." Morgan State is the sec ond-least penalized team in the MEAC, having been flagged 34 times for 297 yards through its first five games. The Bears were penalized seven times for 70 yards in their win against Howard. The Bison were flagged eight times for 65 yards. Even though Hill is 100 percent for bringing attention to breast cancer awareness, before Thursday night's game against Howard, he said he and his MEAC coaching colleagues wouldn't be upset if officials were to keep their penalty flags in their pockets. "Everybody still cusses when they throw them," Hill joked. "Whether it was pink or (yellow), it's the same response. We want the pink. But everybody doesn't have to show them at the same time." ? p? ? ? ~~ ?? " ? ? ? i&TFIElj Photo by Gary Lash Punt, Pass and Kick Championship winners.
