Before we get to this, I further demand that we rename those folks who resell tickets outside the gates. “Scalpers” is just plain offensive, and this is made even more offensive outside Redskins games, apparently.

What tribe was named the “redskins”? Its a trademarked name, and the team had it first. Where the hell do Indians get a right to not be offended?

“Foreskins”
Most of us in Baltimore have called them that for years. :-)
To: Radix
ROFL! I’ve been a Redskins fan for a long time but I don’t think I could be a fan of the Foreskins.

E(mail) Last Friday, in a judicial decision that hinged on a legal technicality, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., upheld the right of the local pro football team to keep its unconscionable nickname. Unsconscionable? Why...? How about the "Flaming Warriors"?

Foreskins would be fitting for the town and fanbase of that franchise.
Not to mention that God wasted a dick when he put ears on Dan Snyder.

the franchise continues to offend some Native Americans YEAH! And while you PC clowns are at it, how about renaming Indiana, and Indianapolis. And those damn redskin potatoes are mighty offensive if you think about it. And my wife has a Jeep Cherokee that I have to scrape the name badges off of....

Washington Thieves and Brigands would be appropriate.

Funny, I’ve never heard on any Irish people getting upset about Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
Now some Irishmen might be upset that the football team has stunk in recent years but that is a separate issue.

Rename them the Obamas. I was going to suggest naming them the "Dumb Farks" (or something like that), but you beat me to it! ;-P

I’m a Cowboy fan who went to college near DC in the 80’s.
The Native Americans are right about this and a few other things.
I think the name should be officially changed to FORESKINS.
