As my heritage is Scottish, I am offended. I guess I’ll call my congress-critter.

Having caved to the politically correct then I assume “Bravehearts” is meant sarcastically?
To: Zakeet
If the Leftists get the name changed, they win. And that is all they care about. They couldn’t care less what the football team is named, because they just want to make social change.
Then, they will go on to the next ‘name’ that ‘offends’ them so they can get it changed and rack up another win.
One small win at a time and PC moves the nation a little more leftward.

Time for collectors to buy up as much “Redskins” memorabilia as they can.

If they were too chicken to keep their original name, “Braveheart” seems a little much.
Maybe “Browbeaten” is more like it.

To match their home town, how about changing the name to the Washington Ticks. Bloodsucking, nasty, parasitic ticks.

Here's the real solution to the Washington Redskins problem:
It's a universally appealing solution!
The conservative case:
Naming a professional sports franchise after somebody is an honor worthy of Ronald Reagan because of his great accomplishments, including, but not limited to:
- Helped bring about the collapse of the Soviet Union.
- Ousted the Jimmy Carter Administration.
- Restored United States military dominance and prestige.
- Restored the American economy to a globally dominant position.
The liberal case:
Naming a professional sports franchise after a person is a horrendous and dishonorable insult to their legacy, a fate Ronald Reagan deserves because of the horrible things he did, including, but not limited to:
- Helped bring about the collapse of the Soviet Union.
- Ousted the Jimmy Carter Administration.
- Restored United States military dominance and prestige.
- Restored the American economy to a globally dominant position.
A city named after a great president deserves a football team named after a great president.

I think you’ve got it!
Change the “Washington Redskins” to the “Washington Reagans!”
I like it.
