‘Washington Post’ Renews Calls for Redskins to Change ‘Shameful’ Name
Breitbart ^ | June 16 2020 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Posted on 06/16/2020 12:03:15 PM PDT by knighthawk

On Tuesday, the Washington Post once again went after the Washington Redskins nickname, calling the moniker “shameful” and “offensive.”

In his editorial, sports columnist Barry Svrluga demanded that NFL team Owner Daniel Snyder eliminate the name his team has had since 1933.

“Now is the time. Sorry, long past the time,” Svrluga wrote to the NFL owner. “If the NFL season opens as planned with training camps this summer, Washington’s team should do so under another name. Under its new name. Whatever that might be. Put it on the ballot, and then mail it in!”

Racists...

The Washington Post and it’s acolytes are fixated on race.

You’d think Democrats would grow out of being racists at some point.

Leftists have achieved their goal. They have destroyed another American institution and pastime.

They even have me hoping the NFL season is cancelled.

Yes, and while we are at it, let's change the name of the Redskin Potato. Or Dan, you can keep the name and put a potato instead of the Indian... 😋

Sounds good to me. Time for the woke NFL to pay a price for its anti-American activities. What’s good for the goose...

I’ll give you actual discrimination. I went to Taco Bell today with a trailer. Only the drive thru was open so I walked up and place my order.

When I got to the window, I was told that they couldn’t fill my order for safety reasons.

I told them that they were discriminating against me and since that seems to be all the rage these days...Walk Lives Matter.

This is the lefts push to change as much as possible during the chaos. This is their modus operandi. Never let a crisis go to waste.

At this point, as people worry about necessities like food and toilet paper, it is clear to most if not all that professional sports are for the most part a jobs program for minorities with few other options.

And posts everywhere are calling on this Fake News agency to change its name.

Everyone knows posts are dumb. “Dumb as a Post” they say.

But even dumb posts have too much pride to allow WaPo to use their name.

They do realize their company is named after a slave owner, that some people might find offensive. Mind your own P’s and Q’s Compost.

I gave up NFL. I just can’t bring myself to care anymore. The league has sold out to every other PC thing they can so why hold on to a team name?

While they are at it, make the Seahawks, the Seattle CHOP’s

All I am seeing is discrimination and racism towards white people who do not march and riot with BLM.

Don’t even care anymore. Change the name to BLMs as far as I’m concerned. In fact, EVERY NFL team should change its name to the BLMs.
