They are probably trying to establish their politically correct credentials since they know their are about to lose their jobs due to lack of readership and think this will help them in their job search.
I guess I won’t use your name anymore, then ... either ... LOL ...
Trademarks and copyrighted material are intellectual property, and the means by which this property was stripped from the Washington Redskins management corporation is very close to violating the Fourth Amendment. No warrant was ever issued, and the seizure was simply a unilateral deprivation of intellectual rights to a specific logo, and an established and recognizable brand.
And who says “all Native Americans” are up in arms about the use of the term “Redskins”? Political correctness is just another club handed to the “regulators” in our society who do nothing to improve the tone of conversation, and are an attempt by the (very small) minority to impose its will on the majority, employing very draconian measures that are altogether disproportionate to the “harm” inflicted.
Well I don’t think they should advertise Ritz crackers then either. I find that offensive. As a matter of fact, I’ll call it the “C” word from now on.
(facepalm)...and Starbuck(s) is a name synonymous with one who is responsible for the deaths of 10’s of thousands of innocent cylon women and children...
Can the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame be far behind?
Have these people gone insane.
I am betting that normal lofos will see this for what it actually is massive over reach by radicals who are living in some weird alternate reality than the rest of the country.
Hopefully this will wake up some voters who have not been paying attention and start a backlash
My ongoing unintentional boycott of the Seattle Times just got intentional!
I understand that they were going to rename the team “Washington Foreskins”, but didn’t want to confuse the team with Congress and some federal agencies.
Between 1958 and 1961 Communist China had a “great leap forward” where the ruling class attempted to change thousands of years of culture. It failed, but only after millions died.
I believe we are currently living our own “great leap forward”. In the end, this will also fail, the only question is how many Americans die before the left is forced to back down?
Perhaps Mr. Snyder should change the name of the team to the D.C. Fascists and put a profile of Harry Reid on one side of the Helmet and Obama on the other.
Redhawks?! That's a .44 magnum revolver. Boycott them for promoting gun violence!
So nothing else matters. The girls in nigeria. The buildup of power by al quaeda and other bearded savages. The economy in the toilet. The irs being used against the people.
The only thing that matters in the post-civilized USA is the symbolism of the name of a team.
They find no irony in banning the use of a word because it offends humans while supporting abortion.
Harry Reid, to show his support for Native Americans will be changing his name to Sagging Horses Ass.
I don’t think parakeets and puppies follow football anyway.
Seattle is a hot bed of stupidity and he sounds like a real moron. As for the Kansas City Star and it’s stance, that rag ceased to be a good paper decades ago and is known locally as the Kansas City Red Star. I am rapidly becoming a Redskins fan as the result of this Nazi-like agenda from the left. Obama’s big ears are an insult to Mickey Mouse as well. Should he keep his ears covered so not to offend Mickey? Maybe a petition is in order. God Bless the Redskins, Chiefs and all who have taken on the names of great warriors........The Great OZ has spoken.
I am liking the Washington Liberal Thinskins more and more.
