So they 'cancelled' the Indian honoring 'Redskins' and replace it with an old white male known for belittling Indians...

The Washington “ Commies “.

The most appropriately named team in the NFL.

Another hit from the Bee. Personally, I think the mascot should be Chairman Mao. It IS Washington DC after all. For short, we can call them The Washington Commies and the mascot just Commie.

A drug addict and lifetime criminal gets killed by a cop and the NFL humiliates itself in response.

I miss Chief Zee. RIP. I'm sure right now he and Crazy Ray are up there wondering what the hell is going on.

At least they didn’t go with a “WC” logo on the helmets. That would go over like a lead balloon, especially if they played in London.

Uh ... yes, he was ...

One of the most dramatic components of the Battle of Gettysburg, the large clash of Union and Confederate cavalry units on the third and final day, has often been overshadowed by Pickett’s Charge and the defense of Little Round Top. Yet the fight between thousands of horsemen led by two charismatic leaders, Confederate J.E.B. Stuart and George Armstrong Custer of the Union, may have played a decisive role in the battle.

A farm belonging to a local family named Rummel suddenly became the site of a cavalry skirmish as Union cavalrymen, off their horses and fighting dismounted, began to exchange fire with Confederate counterparts. And then the Union commander on the scene, General David Gregg, ordered Custer to attack on horseback.

Placing himself at the head of a Michigan cavalry regiment, Custer raised his saber and screamed, “Come on, you wolverines!” And he charged.

What had been a standoff and then a skirmish quickly escalated into one of the biggest cavalry battles of the entire war. Custer’s men charged, were beaten back, and charged again. The scene turned into a gigantic melee of men shooting at close quarters with pistols and slashing with sabers.

In the end, Custer and the federal cavalry had held off Stuart’s advance. By nightfall Stuart’s men were still positioned on the ridge from which they had first spotted the Union cavalry. And after dark Stuart withdrew his men and returned to the west side of Gettysburg to report to Lee.

I think the Washington Swamp Commanders should have a Swamp Monster as their mascot.

I bet you if Chief Zee were still alive, they’d still be The Redskins.

"We wanted a mascot that would represent the ultimate commander," said team owner Dan Snyder. "Someone the fans could rally behind as we make our last stand on defense."

Yo, dan snyder, the Redskins kilt every last soldier under General Custer during the battle of The Little Big Woke.

I guess it’s a technical or semantic question. Custer was part of the fight with Stuart two miles away. For many people that counts as part of the Battle of Gettysburg. I’ll give the poor guy that much.
