Rachel Maddow has joined in in the left-leaning-media boycott of calling the Washington Redskins by its official name, instead awkwardly referring to the team as the “R-Word” throughout a recent segment. The MSNBC host called the actual name of the team “painfully racist.”
Maddow picked up on Samoan congressional delegate Eni Faleomavaega’s practice of referring to the team as the “R-Word.” (Faleomavaega has been on the forefront of the push to force the team to change its name.)
Maddow also referred to the Redskins as the “Washington R-Word NFL team,” the “Washington, D.C., football team,” and once as “the Washington Why-Don’t-They-Change-Their-Names.” She praised Slate, The New Republic, and Mother Jones for representing “real progress” in their vow to no longer use the Redskins name.
With the football season getting underway, Maddow told fans she “hope[s] your team has a name you can say without wincing.” I’m sure the 160,000 fans on the Redskins season-tickets waiting list don’t have that problem.

That’s so gay.
Funny, I have no problem calling her a dyke.
If a tree falls in the woods....
Who heard her say it?
That's what drives these women to their extreme views, and trying to SOMEHOW show they are "intellectual", and "have value"....
LOL
Nobody would even know who this individual is if not for stuff like this. Conservative media needs to stop reacting and start defeating. In fact, we ALL need to do that.
More idiocy from the land of the perpetually offended.
Enjoy her while she lasts, because those cable packages are going to become unbundled, and then she will be gone.
Nuff said.
Madcow painfully PC.
Do I need to refer to her as the “L Word”?
I have been a Redskins fan since my days at MCB Quantico. If they ever cave to crap like this, they’ve lost me and many others, I suspect.
How are those Bullets doing lately?
As someone on this board once said: “Why would any parent name their young son ‘Rachel’”?
Who cares what Richard Madow thinks?
Dumb word B word!
All three of her viewers?
I’ve been calling them far worse than that for years!
I really cannot stand L-word B-word people like R-word M-word. B-words like her can just go to H-word. Who really gives an S-word anyway?
