RICHMOND, Va. — ESPN’s show First Take, with co-hosts Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman, visited Redskins Training Camp in Richmond Thursday to film on site. Kellerman was asked by the media on hand about the team this year, the NFC East, and the often-discussed controversial nickname. Kellerman said that not only did he think the name should change, but that it would happen under the current regime.

“Yes, it will change and Dan Snyder will change it,” Kellerman declared. “And I’m looking forward to that day, because I’m very disappointed in him right now.”

Snyder has repeatedly said that name is a badge of honor and that he will “never change the name.”

Kellerman dismissed attempts to downplay the seriousness of the issue through recent polls, as well as the implication that the idea of changing the name was capitulating to any individual who might be offended.

The Cleveland “Browns” is next.

Then the New England “Patriots.”

And if “Indians” are offensive, what about “Cowboys?”

Clint Eastwood is right. We are a nation of Pussys.

Maybe they should change the name to the Washington DC Pussies.

Well will he get rid of “Redskins” or “Washington”. After all, George Washington owned slaves.

Keep the name. Change the logo to a potato. Problem solved.

Oh, and fire Roger Goodell.

They’re losing a ton of money and they’re becoming irrelevant. Local sports superstations are taking a chunk, as are the dedicated networks of the big four sports. I can’t think of the last time I watched ESPN and I watched it religiously growing up.

I’m not a football fan, but if this keeps up, I may have to get a Redskins jersey.

I prefer the Thinskins as an obvious shot against liberals.

I have the best name for the team.

Call them the San Antonio Bandits. Put the black hat used for Rodeo San Antonio on the helmet.

Tell everyone in Washington to go pond sand. And blame the Democrats for it.

Yeah, he’s a pu**y. Met him once at the Oscar De La Hoya offices years ago in DT L.A. and he was the whiniest, backstabbing snitch at the lunch table. Even de la Hoya agreed with me.

He does this, then “blacks” becomes an insensitive term and we are going to have to get used to using “negro” again.
