My high school was forced to change their mascot from The Braves to The Blaze.

Weak.

My old high school was Robert E. Lee.

Not only was the name changed, but the building was torn down. Must not have any racis symbols.

The perpetually offended white liberals are the ones complaining. Most of the injuns could not care less.

Uh oh, we were the Ygnacio Valley Warriors back in 1976. I wonder if they still are?

No one cares about the Washington Redskins, so why would anyone care about the mascot?

Mine had to change it's name to the Red Storm.

Previously our teams were called the Thieving Iroquois Bastards. Someone seemed to have a problem with that.

We played HS Football against “The Crusaders”! Wonder what they have now, “The Supine”?

I vote that they drop the “d” from the middle. Then the name could be the “Reskins”, as in “don’t pronounce the ‘d’ in Redskins”.

Wash-ton Res-kins it is.

Ahead of the game, there will be a march and rally to protest Washington's team name.

Next they will go after the "Washington" because he owned slaves.

I guess I don't blame the marchers. I'd hate to have a team named as "Washington" these days.

Why aren’t they protesting the Vikings?

Cartoonish characterization of Scandanavians murderers and rapists....

The Washington Post did a nationwide poll of Native Americans a few years back concerning the Redskin’s name. Over 90% of Native Americans said they weren’t offended by the name, basically they didn’t care at all.

The truth is the vast majority of those who are offended are white liberals. By continuing the ruckus over the name they’re telling Native Americans to sit down, shut up and let white folks decide what’s best.

I’m guessing none of the protesters are Native American.

Stereotypical presentation of Scandinavians as violent. How dare they!

What’s the difference between a Viking mascot, Cowboy, or Redskins mascot?
