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.

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.

“...The name isn’t 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?

Gotta change the city name too. Maybe they can repurposee the logo and keep the name also.
The logo would be a washing device that can wash a ton of redskinned potatoes at a time..

They would be washing a ton of redskins....no?
Too much alcohol...thc...opiates...ssri....hormones..in the populaces bloodstreams.
