” rename them the Virginia ‘English’ “

What about the Saxons or the Anglo Saxons? Seemingly there is nothing preventing the use of derogatory terms for whites, how about the Crackers?

[NorthMountain]

Exactly.

Whatever they do, the Redskins name and logos must remain. IIRC, the Indian head logo was drawn by an actual Indian who didn’t like the old “Circle R” logo.

See post 19 here for new proposed logo from OLD team: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3243656/posts

The Redskanks, in honor of Hillary.

I always forget that Offending Someone is against the Law.

I’m sure the SCOTUS will find it in that Constitution thingy.

[BipolarBob]

he should call a press conference and say that henceforth the team will be known as "Washington".

That would be the prudent thing to do. Especially if this gets overturned. As an alternative, I would offer "Commies" as in Washington Commies.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

“Constitution thingy” - in liberal justice speak that is pronounced “PENUMBRA”. It’s the ideological equivalent of giving the Constitution a sex change operation.

[ArmstedFragg]

Contemptuous, huh? I’ll give you contemptuous: change the name to “The Washington P.C.’s”.

[ArmstedFragg]

Or, in the tradition of Stan Freberg: “The Washington Swiss”, that way we don’ offend nobody.

So we have the Atlanta Braves, the Chicago Blackhawks, The Cleveland Indians and on and on.

Pekin, Illinois was supposedly named that because Peking China is 180 degrees from the city on the other side of the globe. the High School football team were known as the “Chinks” up until just a few years ago. I think they’re the Dragons now.

Has Redman chewing tobacco taken any flak over their name and logo?

[chopperman]

Change the nickname to the “REBELS”....

And make the new logo the Confederate Flag.

[Go_Raiders]

The should be called the Ducks!!!

[sarge83]

That is what I would do, pack up move and give them the finger as I drive out of town.

[Rodentking]

What about Indian Head Pennies?

[Mark17]

If I were Dan Snyder, I’d pack up the team and get away from DC just to spite Norton and her ilk.

Yep, screw all these suck bag rat bast---s.

[sima_yi]

...ruling that Redskins is offensive to a few American Indians.

There. Fixed it.

[ExTxMarine]

I think that would be one of his best options. Simply threaten to leave the D.C. area, if he continues to have to play these stupid games.

I think if he did that, the people of the region and even Congress would start to back off from this TRIVIAL issue and move on with their lives!

As a Dallas Cowboys fan, I typically loathe the Washington Redskins, but I support Dan Synder and the Washington Redskins in their fight against political correctness. And that is ALL this is! A stupid fight against political correctness. The correct answer to a PC fight is, “NO, YOU DON’T GET TO CHOSE MY WORDS OR THOUGHTS! NO!”
