I have wondered why, all of a sudden, it’s become a liberal cause celebre to try to force the Redskins to change their name.

How do liberals decide what their causes are?

And, is this an orchestrated campaign? We’ve seen politicians, all Democrats I believe, weigh in. We’ve seen some news organizations and commentators weigh in. Some of them have said they will not use the name “Redskins” in their sports coverage or commentary.

And now the FCC is considering banning the word “Redskins”??

Why are they doing a full court press against Redskins and not other Indian team nicknames? Or will they go after the Braves, Blackhawks, Indians, Chiefs, etc. if they can force the Redskins to change their name????

Should Sioux City change its name? Oklahoma? the Dakota’s?

Where does it stop?

Also, forgot to mention the recent action against the Redskins regarding their trademark or copyright on the use of their team name. That too, in conjunction with all these other actions, reeks of an orchestrated campaign, by liberals behind the scenes, to force a name change.

Death by a thousand cuts? Pushing against the Redskins on many fronts all at once????

They have been for decades...

It's how you get team names like this one:

Maybe they are guilty white libs fighting for the black guys... there are the Vikings and the Redskins but there isn’t any team named after the Zulus, Tutsis or whatever.
