I don’t follow the Redskins. But as far as I am concerned, any fight against this PC crap has my approval.

So “take yo panties off” is given protection by Obama but “redskins” is not?
That is heinous. But not surprising.

UPDATE
Rather than be associated with racist stereotypes,

will be known as the Landover Redskins.

Instead of Washington Redskins why don’t they just rename the team the Obama Redskins?
