Here is the politically correct solution to the problem of what to call the Washington Redskins. I have heard that dropping the most offensive derogatory term, 'Washington,' would solve the problem. Charles Krauthammer wants to just call them the Washington Skins. George Will sides with history and says it should remain The Washington Redskins.
It doesn't matter that most of the Indian nations have no problem with the terminology. All it takes is for one Indian to be offended for the PC Stasi to beat the war drums.
I hold that the city of Washington has evolved, and it is only proper to take the 'skin' out of Redskins and just call them what they are -
The Washington Reds.
Just hope Putin doesn't take offense.
It’s Dud. Day neber use the TH sound Must be a teeth issue
Still not as stupid as "The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim."
Remove all reference to American Indians. Marginalize them, make them disappear from history.
Rename the team THE CHIVINGTONS!
Sarc/off
Call’m the ...Bloody Panty Wads!
Dallas must be insulting Cowboys, Tampa insults Pirates (as does Pittsburgh in baseball), Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, Chicago Blackhawks, Iowa Hawkeyes, Notre Dame’s drunk Irishmen, KC Chiefs, Florida State Seminoles, ...the list is practically endless.
But the outrage is reserved, to be used one team at a time. Bully the Redskins into a name change...go after the Cleveland Indians next. One at a time...much more successful than being outraged at all of them, simultaneously.
The local high school team mascot here is the Unicorns.
*sigh*
Put me on the list. As a sailor I'm pretty dang P.O.ed about the Mariners.
Lets just call em what they are
A crappy football team almost as bad as the giants
NFC east ping!
Just change the mascot from an Indian Warrior to the RED POTATO!
Deeee-vide and “conker”. LOL!
