If the Redskins change their name, shouldn't the Celtics change their name to something like Chowderheads.

The “Packers”? That’s homophobic!
To: UnwashedPeasant
And “Fighting Irish,” which implies that Irish are violent drunks. Well aren't they?

I would like to know what the hell “cowboys” is suppose to mean?
Do they think women have not contributed to the livestock industry? It should be the Dallas Cowpersons.

As one of Irish descent, I disagree - the term “fighting Irish” refers to their bravery.

Change the name to Red’sKins. Use the apostrophe. Say it is in honor of the family of someone named Red.
To: ConservativeStatement
I say just shorten it to “Reds” and put a hammer and sickle on the helmet.

And so is the constant mispronounciation on all tv cooking shows of the herb Basil with a long A as in base when the correct way is with a short A as in back or basilica.

If the Redskins change their name, shouldn't the Celtics change their name to something like Chowderheads.No, as "Chowderhead" is a horrible discriminatory slur against Democrats.

Is this a private fight or can anyone join in?

True.
BTW, while switching channels I happened on David Letterman's show just as he was making fun of a man's skin color Of course, no outrage since he referred to a white person, Rep. Boehner.

Because it is incorrectly pronounced “sellticks”, instead of, more correctly, “kellticks”. ‘Scuse my phonetics.
