“Tony Kornheiser, no politically correct squish”

Yeah, on what planet?

For good measure: Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins, Redskins ....

[Paladin2]

Then call them the red-neck shirts.

[Resolute Conservative]

Can anyone here actually say they they have read Slate. I can’t say that I have unless unwittingly.

[Red Badger]

The snack formerly known as 'redskin peanuts' now referred to as 'Spanish peanuts'.......

[Still Thinking]

What’s next, the Cleveland “Native Americans”?

[Patrick1]

We will no longer call Slate readable. (Like we ever did0

Political Correctness will eventually fade and disappear. Let us pray that it does soon, and let us aid it in its demise.

“And what should replace Redskins? A D.C. city councilmember cleverly proposed “Redtails,” the nickname of the Tuskegee Airmen. It nods at the city’s African-American heritage, and would allow Snyder to keep a feather in the logo.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If a team name like Redskin or Cherokee means derision, scorn and contempt for a group instead of highly valuing that group, then doesn’t that apply to a name like “Washington Redtails”?

[Steve_Seattle]

These morons can’t figure out that sports teams do not use racial slurs for their nicknames. The word “red” as a self-designation is ubiquitous in Native American parlance, even among leftist-oriented Native Americans. “God is Red,” for example, was a popular book among the Native American left.

[Graybeard58]

Liberal heads will explode if they ever run across this from our Declaration of Independence:

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

[bmwcyle]

Who cares?

[henkster]

As a Cowboys fan, I despise the Redskins. But.... I love the Indians!!! Go Tribe!!!!!

[Tupelo]

I am going to go against the grain here, but I think the Redskins name is kinda sill. I have always thought that a team's nickname should reflect the city or region they are located in. Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos etc.
I always thought the Washington Bullets reflected more accurately on the city than the Washington what ever they are now. Oh yeah Wizards. Wizards????? No, I would love to see the Redskins name changed to the Washington Grafters. Any other ideas.

[Stosh]

I personally avoid providing hits for lefty web-sites, but I’m glad folks post articles from _________ here on FR; of the many left-wing sites, __________ can generally be relied on to provide some real amusement.

[DownInFlames]

I propose The Beltway Bandits.

[Cicero]

For the thousandth time, people don’t name sports teams after Indians because they despise Indians. They name them after Indians because they ADMIRE Indians.

No other explanation is possible.

[Colonel_Flagg]

How does Slate feel about printing a factual error every time they refer to the Washington Redskins incorrectly?
