I am Choctaw. The names “Redskins,” “savages” and the mascot for the Cleveland Indians are to me the most offensive sports logos/nicknames. AND, . . . so what?!

Btw, the southern media market was also big in the Orioles story and allowed that scumbag Angelos to claim a major chunk of Nationals’ local media.

Angelos ruined the Orioles for me, as Snyder has nearly done for the Redskins. I’ve come back for the Kurt, but we’ll see what happens. The RGIII episode was so sad: Snyder at his worst and ruined RGIII along the way.
