Of course, since the PC Gestapo are on the case, facts are irrelevant.
I don’t remember the Kennedys ever going after the ‘Skins name issue way back when, Why now?
I guess the media mafia needs a new or rather old item to revisit to cover-up for their pitiful efforts on reporting current events nationwide.
It also just happens to be one of the most valuable brands in the world among sports franchises. No way is Snyder going to throw that away because of some PC nutjobs who for the most part aren’t even football fans.
As a Cowboys fan, the Redskins are per se evil. And I don’t generally care for Dan Snyder. However, in this case, I am 100% behind him and the Redskins.
Unfortunately, I had to go to the WaPo site to read the letter. Now I have to go take a shower.
In tribute to the whiners, they should change the name to The Washington Thinskins.
Do the Redskins get gov’t welfare?
I’m disappointed
Really hoping for “Beltway Baraqqis”
What about dry Indians?
Moist Indians? What about the dry Indians?................
Yada yada yada SHOVE IT UP YOUR PC ASSES yada yada yada WE AIN’T CHANGING THE NAME.
Dan Snyder
Better to be a brave Redskin than to be a weasel thin-skin.
The end game is to outlaw conservative free speech, if people accept the premise that offensive speech can be banned then the outcry will be that conservatives viewpoints are offensive and need to be banned as well.
It’s just liberals, being offended on behalf of people who aren’t offended. Yeah, some Oneidas are acting offended, but most aren’t and besides, I’ve sworn off buying any of their silverware, so there.
They’re fortunate we didn’t bring all of our old-world customs with us or they’d all have been wiped out a few centuries ago.
I was on a FB thread the other day where the folks in SD were still angry about Mt. Rushmore, but I told them, Hey, you’re getting your wish, the evil white man has been pushed out by the evil white/black man. I suggested they just get their friends in the Taliban to blow it up and they didn’t like that either. There’s just no pleasing some folks....
Is the name Quisling taken?
Would Snyder please ask this question? How would changing the Redskins name improve the life of any Native Americans?
“Team Travon” would not only honor a brother, it would eulogize the thuggery that exists in professional sports.
Which is it?
I know what it is not, it's not about the symbols being “racist”, it's all about power and money.
If Washington's team was named “The rebels” with a Southern soldier waving a Confederate Battle flag instead of an “Native American” symbol, these same agitators would be crying racism still, only the symbol wouldn't be ridiculing but one of empowering.
Just as they did at Ole Miss with their Rebels and their southern gentleman mascot.
I quit paying attention to these leftwingnuts agitating attention whores and I wish organizations would see them for what they are.
Great letter. Keep the name, some people just need to F’n GROW UP!
Breaking: Obama agrees to compromise. He prefers Foreskins.
How about we all write Gov. O’Malley,D-MD and demand that the Black-Eyed Susan be removed as the State flower?
