Change it to “A-holes”, in honor of Bob Costas and all the other “holier than thou” idiots who want to change the name due to “insensitivity” issues.

The team name will be changed.
To: ColdOne
Snyder will be “bought out” after extorting as much as possible from the league (some backroom deal involving large transfers of wealth). Then he’ll cave on the name.
To: ColdOne
Rename them the Politicians. It’s fitting.
I can’t see how changing a team name is going to help their business.

Rename them the “7th Cavalry”

Snyder will be bought out after extorting as much as possible from the league (some backroom deal involving large transfers of wealth). Then hell cave on the name. If the league is going to pressure him to change the name, then he damn well ought to do that. The name is an extremely valuable international brand - imagine the reaction if Coca-Cola was forced to change its name due to an anti-drug campaign complaining about it's reference to cocaine. It's no different for the Redskins.

This is amazing. They are going to change the name for the sake of political correctness. That, and a handful of malcontents don’t like it. We really need some men in leadership positions in this country.

Its always been just a question of when the cave-in would occur. The Left strikes again, and again capitulation is the all but certain response. No one ever stands up to the Left after they orchestrate their well established campaign.
It starts as some local “outrage” then the lefty organizations start organizing around it. We then see the Left try to leverage shame and embarrassment associated with the mere mention of the name, or person, or organization in an effort to stigmatize and therefore marginalize. Then the issue gets instantly amplified by someone like Bob Costas and of course then the NYTimes fulminates and it's over, the Left now has an “official” cause which everyone must now bow down to.

I'm almost there anyway with the month of pink crap (now infiltrating college football), the soon-to-be-two-hand touch rules, the broadway dance numbers over making a tackle and the whiney millionaire crybabies (wait, maybe I am over it), but if Snyder gives in and bows to PC over the Redskins name, I'm done. I have better things to do with my Sundays, anyway.
Although, the 'changed my mind about spiking' quarterback sneak to beat the Cowboys was awesome.

Where the hell were they last season? They didn’t like the name then, either, but they didn’t raise a gigantic stink about it. And why aren’t they demanding the Cleaveland Indians be renamed the Cleavland Native-Americans?
