The Washington Redskins plan to announce Monday morning that they will change their team name, three people with knowledge of the situation confirmed Sunday night. The team is not expected to reveal a new name until a later date.

Two people with knowledge of the team’s plans said Sunday that the preferred replacement name is tied up in a trademark fight, which is why the team can’t announce the new name Monday.

How about “the Washington Wimps?” No one in DC can stand up for anything except Trump.

Well that was quick wasn’t it?

It would be nice to know the real reason that this is happening. Is it because of political correctness? Is it because in spite of what Snyder said in the past, that he’s never changing the name , he is really liberal at heart? Is it because the NFL and sponsors and ultimately money is talking here?

Why is anyone left watching “professional sports?”

It’s been the theater of the absurd for years, now.

There is nothing left to enjoy for anyone with a brain.

The NFL is going down the toilet. They’re too stupid and too arrogant to not realize that cowering to the likes of BLM is going to lose them a significant amount of their fans.
