Seattle is a hot bed of stupidity and he sounds like a real moron. As for the Kansas City Star and it’s stance, that rag ceased to be a good paper decades ago and is known locally as the Kansas City Red Star. I am rapidly becoming a Redskins fan as the result of this Nazi-like agenda from the left. Obama’s big ears are an insult to Mickey Mouse as well. Should he keep his ears covered so not to offend Mickey? Maybe a petition is in order. God Bless the Redskins, Chiefs and all who have taken on the names of great warriors........The Great OZ has spoken.
I am liking the Washington Liberal Thinskins more and more.
It's gay friendly and Clinton approved!
The Washington Redskins owner needs to apply for protection for the following names:
The Washington [*bleep*]s
or
The Washington R-word-s
I always find it interesting when the press warns us about the dangers of a free press.
Harry Reid is a champion for perversion and could have easily played the lead in “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure.”
Mark Levin yesterday read a long list of various teams at various levels that use ‘Redskins’ and other Native American names/identities.
Ironically, one was a NA school on the Navajo reservation. Red Mesa High School calls themselves ‘the Redskins’.

"Change the mascot to a potato and still call themselves 'Redskins'". Cool!
Another comment opined on why there is no outcry about the Cleveland Indians mascot name. Don't liberals find the term "Indians" offensive when referring to America's "native Americans"? Do "native" Americans find it offensive to be called Indians?
And how long do your ancestors have to have been here before you get called a "native"? The so-called "native" Americans aren't really native, they've just been here longer than my ancestors.
Hey! You know what? I'm offended that American "native" Americans are called "native Americans" when they clearly are not "native". So I don't know what to call them. Should I call the Seattle Times to get some guidance on this issue?
But let anyone tell the Seattle Times that they can’t write whatever they feel like writing and they will scream “censorship”.
How Orwellian that a publication which relies on the First Amendment for its very existence should resort to censorship of a name it finds distasteful. Liberalism writ large.
So what? Early Indians (can I say Indian?) often times had reddish skin from being out in the sun so much. BTW, according to biologists, they are caucasian.
If I ever see or hear any media that includes the terms "white eyes" or "paleface", especially "honkey" (which is the equivalent to the N word), then us caucasians should whine, moan, grown and sue somebody. Hell, the Asians should sue for using part of their their name in the word Cauc-asian.
Unless things have changed, I grew up understanding there were only 3 basic races - caucasian, negro, and asian. Yes, there have become variations from inter-breeding, and ethnicity exists. However, I'm so sick of such thin-skinned people(can I say that?) that need to whine about old labels. Sheesh, get a damn life.
BTW, the term "redneck" started out as derogatory name and now they can laugh at themselves. Why can't others?
No White Sox either, the filthy bigots.
My, don't we give ourselves airs?
There is a certain irony about a city named after a Native American chief taking this course of action. Chief Sealth was mocked and shoved into the street, after all. Perhaps the city should be renamed to "Maynard" after that remarkable fellow, or "Yesler". I'm sure the anti-colonialist PC crowd at the Times would be horrified, but it would be consistent with their own policy. But don't hold your breath.
I would become a fan. Instantly.
Maybe they think the Redskins are from their state.
Then you could go to the game and play some slots afterward.
Wonder how the “Times” will reference the State of Oklahoma?
It occurs to me that if this trademark decision is allow edit o stand, than any “yahoo” with a printer can slap the Redskins logo on jars of beans, sauce, salad dressing, whatever, and sell them direct to other “yahoos” who want the stuff. And you know that there would be a demand for it.
Does anybody still read that fish wrapper?
