I am not sure you are reading what I am saying correctly. I think the reaction to what is assumed to be PC is over the top. I do not see anyone filing a lawsuit if what took place was a temporary situation. I have worked a game where two teams were wearing gold and we called the teams by the color of their numbers. I would have done the same thing as stated if that was the main way to keep the teams separate. It is not like there would be discrimination going on to identify someone. People identify people by their race or gender all the time. Do we get upset when we say "Girls basketball" when that is what someone is actually doing or describing? No, so why would we get upset if someone mentioned someone by an identifier. Never heard of a lawsuit for such a silly reason like we are discussing here now.

Peace
