Tribute to Tatoos

I managed to watch two basketball games today with hundreds of references to the holiday season. Christmas was rarely mentioned as more than an excuse for the Laker girls to wear red instead yellow, eat tons of food with family, and think that fat guys with facial hair were a socially accepted group.

The closest thing to a Christian reference came from Mike Bibby in the form of his tatoo cross. Now, I suppose Mike Bibby doesn't know much about the what the cross stands for. He doesn't seem like a member of the AC Green fan club. In fact, he probably thinks that the cross is sort of like a swastika for non-racist people. Cool design you know. Everyone should have one. But I wonder at what point the NBA is going to say to him "Hey, tatoo's are fine, but the whole cross thing has to go. Get a witch or something more tactful. Maybe an tatoo of Larry Flynt."
