So, they’re changing their name to “Blackskins”?

And will the Jersey Giants change their name to the “Gentle Giants”?

The NFL needs to move all their games to pay tv, so I won’t see any of it. Cable and satellite free for 7 months!!!

Later on in the contest Browns' rookie QB Manziel gave the appropriate return gesture to the Redskins' bench.

Maybe that was his response to them taking the field with their hands in the air like they just don’t care(what the facts are).

If you want to fundamentally transform a nation, you must also remove its heroes and redefine them away from being examples of the nation's highest ideals to the very lowest common denominator instead, while making those highest ideals something to ridicule.

Wherever one finds them, whether in history, on the battlefield or sporting field, the true heroes must die and be forgotten or be redefined and celebrated.

I’ve said the same thing about “ethnic” (or race-specific TV like BET) and Spanish TV — and every other TV station that comes in languages that I neither speak nor understand.

Why should I be forced to pay for channels I do not want??

Cable needs to go to a menu system!!

I think the Giants are next since their name could be viewed as offensive to “little people”. But Cleveland’s baseball team and Atlanta’s gang of felons in the nfl are A-otay. Weird huh. FSU, you listening?

Regardless of whether it’s pay tv or free tv, all channels are fashioned to keep you watching and to budge your opinion over to their liking.

You're overlooking the 800 pound Packer in the room that no one wants to talk about...

Idiots.

I can’t help but think the players did this on their own accord and Dan Snyder didn’t give his support to it.

Any info on the ethnic affiliations of those team members who felt that the situation in Ferguson needed still more attention?

Why don't they ever run onto the field holding schoolbooks, to show their support for finishing school?

Regards,

If the Deadskins REALLY wanted to "capture" the essence of the "gentle giant," they'd have emerged from the locker room doing any of these:

Silly. That wasn’t the whole moronic team deliberately running out of a tunnel like little “Michaels.”
