Here is the politically correct solution to the problem of what to call the Washington Redskins. I have heard that dropping the most offensive derogatory term, 'Washington,' would solve the problem. Charles Krauthammer wants to just call them the Washington Skins. George Will sides with history and says it should remain The Washington Redskins.
It doesn't matter that most of the Indian nations have no problem with the terminology. All it takes is for one Indian to be offended for the PC Stasi to beat the war drums.
I hold that the city of Washington has evolved, and it is only proper to take the 'skin' out of Redskins and just call them what they are -
The Washington Reds.
Just hope Putin doesn't take offense.
Call ‘em the Washington Parasites.
Well, I saw an ad last night for Indian Chief motorcycles. Who’s po’d about that? Not in the mainstream enough? Kansas City Chiefs? Pontiac Chief? Are beer makers offended by the Brewers? This is really getting out of hand.
Other solutions :
Keep the name and change to mascot to potatoes or peanuts!
Ditch the offensive part. Move the team out of Washington !
It is nobody’s business except for the guy who owns them. Sheeez.
I like the idea of beating the estrogen out of Bob Costas better.
The Former Washington Redskins.
You're confusing my team with the federal government!
How about calling them “the Washington Politically correct skins”
Foreskins
How about the Washington Shakedown? Or the PC Jackasses?
The Washington Redskins are changing their name because of all the negativity, shame, humiliation, dissent, polarity, adversity, defiance, hatred, animosity, contempt, discrimination, division, violence, counter-productivity, ill-spirit, un-Godliness, and hostility associated with their name.
From now on they will be known simply as the Redskins.
When they say that “they” are beating the war drums, we’re just talking about the media who are all, mostly, DNC party hacks.
Turn them off and tune them out. Life gets a lot simpler when you no longer give them free access to your brain.
That’s something Taleb, the author of Black Swan and a couple of others, has made on many occasions. He knows more the less he listens to the media.
If they were called the ‘Washington Thin Skins’, Obama would object - or should. I would be more embarrassed having “Washington” associated with the team name more than the mascot.
Call them the Washington Engines - for their contribution to... um... well, lets just say that they contributed to the locomotive industry
Indian-a
Indianapolis
Are both in big trouble!
Not to mention their baseball team the Indians
Red Ink Skins
“Ditch the offensive part. Move the team out of Washington !”
I’m good with the San Antonio Bandits. Play at the Alamodome.
Th’ Wash’n’tn’ foohbaw team
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that white liberal college kids were behind this whole thing , google the University of Miami (Ohio) Redskins
Or just “The Washington Redskins with Apologies to All Aforehand”
Would like to hear Costas say that after every play call.
“The Washington Redskins with Apologies to All Aforehand” just got creamed for a ten yard loss.
Yeah, like that after every play.
