How Could You Vote For This Dink

From ESPN:
If you’re the mayor of Pittsburgh and your beloved Pittsburgh Steelers are playing one of their archrivals for the right to go to the Super Bowl, certainly not “Raven.”
So goodbye, Luke Ravenstahl; hello, Luke Steelerstahl.
Ravenstahl — er, Steelerstahl — says he decided to remove “Raven” from his name just as he predicts the Steelers will remove the hated Baltimore Ravens from contention in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.
On Wednesday morning, the mayor began, but did not complete, an official name change petition, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
Civil court staff gave the petition a docket number but said they did not expect to file it, in part because they did not receive the required check for $108 to process the change, the newspaper reported.
Ravenstahl said he did not come up with the idea for the name change, according to the report. That honor, he said, belonged to callers to a local radio station’s morning show, who “called in and thought it would be a good idea to change from Ravenstahl, given we are playing the hated Baltimore Ravens this weekend, to Steelerstahl.
