DC Mayor: Redskins Must Change Name
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | January 10,2013 | Rush Limbaugh

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: The mayor of Washington, DC, picked up on Courtland Milloy's piece in the Washington Post yesterday. The Redskins are gonna have to get rid of that nickname 'cause it's racist and it's bigoted.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

Here's Vincent Gray. Vincent Gray is the mayor of Washington, DC, said this last night. GRAY: I think it has become a lightning rod, and I would love to be able to sit down with the team -- and I'm happy to do that, to sit down with the team -- and others who are concerned with this and see if a change can be made. Obviously our basketball team did that, you know, with the Bullets being changed to the Wizards.

And the New England Patriots are rascist cause they all have not fought for this country, and; cannot be all patriots.. I think the dodgers is/ are a rascist/bad name as it implies draft dodging. Let’s look at the predators in hockey. Are these guys pedophiles? How bout those Bullets? Surely, that is inflamatory encouraging young punks to buy bullets. How bout those oilers we had. Hell, that must of been class warfare promoting oil men, so; it was changed to Titans and Texans. What about the Bears, Bulls, and Cubs in Chicago? Obama and pals love to trash animals and they owe the SPCA billions. PETA GET AFTER OBAMA NOW.

Some suggestions...if the PC in DC insist:

Washington Crack-Smokin’ Mayors (Marion Barry as mascot)

Washington Ghetto

Washington Entitlement

Washington Crips

Washington Monument (Capitals, United already taken)

Washington GangBangers...... They can call the cheerleaders “Bitches n’ Ho’s” (pardon the language)

I am of Irish ancestry, and I just now decided that I am outraged - yes, outraged I tell you - that the The University of Notre Dame calls its football team the "Fighting Irish." Not just "Irish", mind you, but "Fighting Irish!" What are they trying to say about my people? I've watched many of their games, I suspect that at least half of their players aren't even Irish!.......and then there's the "Boston Celtics." How insensitive can these people be?

I don’t like the ethnicity confusion. I prefer to be all-inclusive !
How about the name : “ Beltway Victims “ ?

I like the name "Washington Redskins" ... and Vincent Gray and all his coterie of brain-damaged, race-baiting zombies can pound sand up their collective ASS.

And I'm not even a Redskins fan ...

Mayor Gray is typical of so many Leftwingtards ~ not only is he totally ignorant of American history and the Bill of Rights, he's a fascist pig.

Going beyond that, the Washington football team in question is called by the nickname "the Skins".

Everybody who plays any sport, particularly pick up sports ~ e.g. basketball in DC which is a requirement of every single last black man to play if he wants to be considered "black enough", knows that in sports there are only TWO TEAMS ~ one is called "The Shirts" the other "The Skins".

Time for that offay honky lover Gray to git wit' the picture!

So they changed the name of the basketball team from the Bullets to the name of the leader of the Ku Klux Klan... great.
