The Washington Redskins, who play their home games in Landover, Maryland, are running into more troubles due to the franchise's nickname, this time as they try to move back to the nation's capital.

Good luck with that Barack.

If you think the Redskin fans will let you get away with it, go ahead and try it d-weed.

About time it is changed. Too bad if Obama gets credit for this long overdue move.

Why should it be changed? Even the Indians, for the most part, don’t object to it?

I'm a Redskins fan and I don't have a problem in changing the name to Warriors as long as we get to keep our history, logo and colors. But let's not do it during Obama's watch.

Note to Redskins: Just don’t ask Nikki Haley for advice on what to do.

Imagine the money on new merchandise that could be made. Snider is missing out on an opportunity.

ANOTHER new stadium? Seems like the current one isn’t very old. Is it because it’s in the ghetto of PG County?

I don’t care about the Redskins team or the Confederate flag, but I do care about not caving in to the “social justice” bullies.

What they’re doing to the Confederate flag and the Redskins is what they will do to ALL dissent if we give in!

I somehow think Dan Snyder is going to tell Obozo to shove something uncomfortable up his wazoo publicly.

Change the logo to him and the nickname to the Washington Cakebois, and he’ll say “never mind” in a hurry.

They should change the name. The name Washington is offensive. It should be the (fill in the blank) Redskins.
