Apparently, Mr. Tom Rostance had to take a shot at the "youth of today" for getting together, mixing around some Scrabble letters and creating the name "DeAndre" because, well, I don't exactly understand why. Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about.
When I first saw this on Twitter (h/t to @nevillem), I was pretty pissed off about it. It was the most upset and disappointed during the USMNT's run during the World Cup. That's mostly because I don't care about FIFA. I dislike it almost as much as I like the NCAA and it's not even because it's soccer. I'll let a British guy that I enjoy watching do all the explaining of that because I'm not a racist. Maybe you've heard of him. John Oliver, anybody?
Sorry if I misspelled your name, Mr. Oliver.
But seriously, Tom (ugh, who in their right or left mind named you something so crude?), what's your beef with a name like DeAndre? Alec isn't a typo that should've been Alex, and both are damn cool names to have.
So, Tom, to honor you and the integrity of the British Broadcasting Corporation, I've decided to create a power ranking of the top names that I, Alex Alvarado (that means I'm latino, Mr. Rostance. Hide ya kids, hide ya wife) that make me feel a little uncomfortable as well. Enjoy, broski (yes, you read that right. That's "young" for amigo or friend or pal or chap).
