The Indians started complaining several years back and made all kinds of demands. Egged on by the White Liberals, who promised them money if they did their bidding.

How long does it take to do a review of the name: “Washington Redskins”? No time at all.
Something is wrong. The recent insane hysterical fit that’s sweeping the nation is billed as being about the death of a black man. What’s the connection to “Redskins”? The name isn’t Washington Blackskins, after all.

Black Lives Matter is really ‘White Lives Don’t Matter’. So anything to get whitey, will work for them.

More of the “cancel culture” at work.
Start letting your voice be heard when you have had enough.

Black Lives Matter is only for criminals who die of a drug overdose while resisting arrest.
They don’t care about anyone else.

That’s why I say, “All Black Lives Matter”.
But then, they would say that’s ‘racist’, too.

I’m thinking ditch the name Washington altogether
How bout the DC Butt Kissers?
Maybe the DC Wokes.
CK has won the toss. NFL dies in 2020.

I think part of what’s going on here is that pressure groups never let a crisis go to waste.
There’ve been demands for years to get rid of Indian nicknames.
I think the pressure groups are taking advantage of the current climate to press again thinking that this is their chance to get rid of the Redskins nickname.

How about the Washington Weasels? The can use as their logo two masked people dressed as Congress Critters exchanging money in from of the U.S. Capitol. Or how about giving non-official Washington back to Maryland and naming the team the Chesapeake Chickens?

There was the NBA’s “Capital Bullets” at one time.

What about Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Blackhawks? Cleveland Indians? I’m sure there are others. If they get the Redskins to cave, then they will go after the other Indian nicknames one by one.

“...The name isnt Washington Blackskins, after all.”
And that, I believe, at the heart of the matter. Indians, as feared as they were, were respected. Indians were formidable foes. That’s why teams were named after them. Their young men were called ‘braves’ for a reason. But teams weren’t called ‘Blackskins’, were they. What does that say?

They could have called a team say, The “Zulus”.
