In honor of those selling tickets outside the stadium . . . how about the scalpers.

I propose ending the NFL by ignoring it, and by capping ticket prices at $10 so the non-wealthy can attend. But if they must rename the team, how about “Blackskins” (”Redskins” pays tribute to a period when many great team members were native Americans — can’t allow history). Huge potential for “Black Skins Matter” shirts and clubs. /s

I gave up NFL. I just can’t bring myself to care anymore.

Me too, who gives a rip. The nfl and their ilk is kindly behaviorally challenged but more so definitely Inconsequential and superfluous,

Excellent! And use a logo of torn ticket stubs so as not to trigger the Snowflakes.

Yeah, I don’t think there are many brain surgeons in the bunch (though there have been some)!

I meant, our chances of getting more of the Black vote seems
to be better this time around.

That wasn’t a dig on Trump not having been good before.

The Washington Post is the propaganda department for the DNC and the KGB (oops, FSB).

What was the team called before they were the Redskins?

The Merciless Indian Savages? (that's how American Indians are referred to in the Declaration of Independence).

Reportedly the vast majority of actual American Indians have no problem with the name Redskins. It's just a bunch of left-wing white Karens who keep trying to make it an issue.

"Post" sometimes means a military base, so the Washington Post needs something inoffensive. Washington Tofu?

Washington Dickskins?

How about throwing a golf term in and call them:

“Washington Foreskins!”

Now the congress can feel included.

Is this part of the Washington Post’s effort to remove native Americans from the public eye and remove their history and culture?

I'm cooking red-skinned potatoes for dinner tonight.

I will probably get my house burned down by dawn.

‘Blackskins’ would also be appropriate and not racist.

How about the Washington Native Americans, or Aboriginals, or Post Bering Straight Land Bridge Migratory North Americans of Asian Descent (PBSLBMNAADs).
Of more concern to me is a replacement name for America, named for Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian colonialist.
If black lives really matter we should immediately start forced repatriation all people who are not (for want of a better word) Native Americans.
A good argument could be made for forcing Native Americans back to Asia and leaving the continent bare of all humans and let it return to its pristine condition (giant sloths, woolly mammoths, and sabre tooth tigers).

call them the Washington Foreskins.

That would preclude Jewish men from being associated with the team, wouldn't it?

They get on this every now and then, and it almost always includes an explanation to "Native Americans" of why they are too offended, even if they don't think they are.

Because, like every good white liberal, the Post knows better.

Fightin’ Irish (racial stereotype)
Texans (offensive to any non Texan)
Cowboys (offensive to Indians)
Patriots (can’t have someone proud of their country)
Buccaneers (pirates, thieves, and slavers, too!)
Raiders (same as above)
Chiefs (offensive to Indians, too)

A few years ago, folks were clamoring about FSU - trying to get them to change their mascot, name, etc. The Seminole tribe is a HUGE supporter of the mascot, and told people to mind their own business.
