Change it to The Washington Nancy Boys and be done with it.
This is total bohonkus in my book.
I have a great idea...name them the Washington berdies.
Maybe I’ll cheer for them. But living in Texas...not likely.
So calling Indians Redskins is bad but calling Caucasians white is fine? I don’t understand this at all. It’s merely a descriptive term for your pigmentation. Who cares?
(Not you, Daniel Clark)
Why not just change the name to stop all the petty arguing. In honor of all of the whiny leftists and dems that can’t let this go how about naming the team the Washington Nigglers. (Yes there is an ‘l’ in there to keep the name non offensive)
The statement itself negates the statement. If calling a team the Redskins is no different from calling it the N-word, one would not dare use the word Redskins. It would have to be called the R-word.
Hear, hear!
Oh, no no no, there is an end.
Let them have a little chat with me.
It doesn’t matter how irrational that is. The important thing is that someone is offended, so Goodell and others who subscribe to the one-offended-liberal rule have got to treat it like a serious matter. Before much longer, we’ll find ourselves watching a game between the Seattle Sustainability and the New Orleans Bicuriosity.
Irrational is the very heartbeat of the "progressive lib-burl."
It is "who they are and what they do."
There is and never will be a cure or a compromise.

The fact that you are saying “Redskins” and obliquely referring to a word that can’t be uttered demonstrates they are not on par....
WORDSPEAK.
It is the word, and words are bad and must be removed from use.
It does not matter what the speaker’s intention was, only the word matters. Therefore it is now prohibited.
Gee.... I’ve seen this movie before.
The end game of the left is power; plain and simple. Whether they’re killing the unborn, dictating our vocabularies, taking our property or telling us what we can and can’t eat, the point is having the brute force at their disposal to impress their will on us. That’s the only thing that matters. All of their “causes” are just a means to that end.
A local Minor League Hockey team just folded and won’t be needing their team name.
Fortunately, this Colorado hat tip to fishing is quite appropriate for a D.C. club.
The Cutthroats.
Back when the NFL was forming, there were more Indians playing pro football than blacks.
But the name, in this case, was more about marketing than honoring or dishonoring any racial group. The Redskins began play in Boston which had two baseball franchises - the Red Sox and the Braves. Pro football was very minor compared the baseball back then so the thought was that latching onto a team name that’s similar to the baseball team in the community was a good marketing ploy.
Calling the team the Redskins could draw both Red Sox and Braves fans into the stands to watch the Red-Braves represent Bostonians in the fall.
