Today, the owner of the Washington Redskins, Dan Snyder, announced that the team has agreed unanimously to change their name, after receiving so much national controversy.
This, from Mr. Snyder: "Today, we made the decision to agree to change the name of our team. Instead of "Washington Redskins", we will now be legally known as "REDSKINS". (We removed the name 'Washington', as it was too embarassing.)"
Since almost everyone in the stands at Redskins’ home games lives off the rest of us, I suggest the Washington Tapeworms.
BIG SMILE - that is exactly what I had hoped, 88keys!
Looks like the ‘yeas’ have this one, yorkie! *hugs*
LOL!
They are boring and dumb.
I resent that!!

If you're serious...the shoe fits.
Here's a Kleenex...boring, whiney crybaby.
If you’re serious, you’re an idiot.
Ever hear of satire? Now’s a good time to study up.
Well....well...well!
You should take your own advice.
Cutting edge wit.
You ought to take your act on the road.
Retired, thank you.
Yorkie, the comments that may appear to be insulting/whining about your posted thread joke are actually about a new FR policy whereby satire now has to be marked clearly in the headline as satire. Thereby the entire value of the satire is lost. It’s been a bit controversial over the past few days. They’re not attacks on your humorous post. Sorry, I don’t have the link to the thread announcing the new policy and am terrible at searches.
Have they been posted?
Phil Simms?

Got it, thanks. Just damn! That takes all the wind out of good satire’s sails. What a shame. I thought that’s what keywords are for. Some of my best FR laughs have come at the expense of those that fall for it even though it was tagged as satire in the keywords.
