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.

If the mayor and the elite of he District keep this up, the Washington Redskins just might change their name to that of whatever city will quit lecturing them and let them play football.

DC Mayor: Redskins Must Change Name

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I totally agree with the Mayor. The Redskins must leave that turd world hell hole of a city and become the SAN ANTONIO Redskins.

[PaleoBob]

Given that the team plays its games in Landover, MD, a few skips and jumps from the Washington Beltway, I think they should change their name.

I like:

The Beltway Bandits

Their team logo could be the cover page on a Washington Times FOIA Request.

May I suggest a change to the Washington Ruddy Epidermisites?

[RPTMS]

The ‘skins already have a brand new stadium in Maryland, don’t they? I don’t see how the mayor of Warshington would have any say in their business, unless they happen to win the Super Bowl and want to have a parade in the District.

[Theoria]

No, its not brand ‘new’. DC is already lobbying to get a new stadium for them. They are trying to swap the FBI building for a new stadium. No joke.

One commonly used symbol of the American colonies was that of a native American woman. For the American colonists to choose that symbol tells me that they certainly didn't feel the great racism so many whine about today.

This is a political cartoon that circulated around 1774 about the "Intolerable acts".



”The able Doctor, or America Swallowing the Bitter Draught.” Etching. From the London Magazine, May 1, 1774. British Cartoon Collection. Prints and Photographs Division. LC-USZC4-5289. Prime Minister Lord North, author of the Boston Port Bill, forces the ”Intolerable Acts,” or tea, down the throat of America, a vulnerable Indian woman whose arms are restrained by Lord Chief Justice Mansfield, while Lord Sandwich, a notorious womanizer, pins down her feet and peers up her skirt. Behind them, Mother Britannia weeps helplessly. This British cartoon was quickly copied and distributed by Paul Revere.

I liked the NBA team better when it was called the Bullets.

[Jack Hydrazine]

I hope it gets changed to the...

Fightin' Whities!!!! LOL!

[massmike]

Rename them to honor the current occupier of the white house...

Call them the Washington Kenyans!

I’m surprised the Greenunists haven’t tried to change the name of the Detroit Pistons to something more environmentally friendly.

[Figment]

They don’t even play in DC. Maybe they should change their name. The Maryland Redskins?

[American in Israel]

Fine, find me a tribe that is named Red Skins, then they can discuss changing.

Cherokee check
Apachee check
Blackfeet check, NO WAIT, that’s Racist! They got to change their name!

[Navy Patriot]

On the other hand, the Washington Redskins could change their name to the “Washington Corruption”.

[Morris70]

What about cracker Jax , Eskimo pie,
Land O’Lakes, Aunt Jemima, gookies cookies,
i.Beat Blaxx mp3 player, pears soap.

Go visit a black Peter parade in Netherlands. You won’t forget it ever.

[Figment]

And was in Baltimore. Screw DC they ruin everything they touch

[PLMerite]

There was a panic a few yeas ago that they would move to Laurel, MD. I assisted by having a “Laurel Redskins” t-shirt....

[Figment]

The Armatures lol

[cripplecreek]

The Detroit Volts. LOL

[Lumper20]

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.
