On Tuesday, the Washington Post once again went after the Washington Redskins nickname, calling the moniker “shameful” and “offensive.”

How about the Washington Traitors?
And to think, ol’ Ben Franklin was right so many years ago in proposing the TURKEY as the national bird/emblem!
(But I think they're probably trying to knock all Ben's statues down now too.)
(By the way, are you suggesting they be renamed the "Philadelphia Turkeys"?)
Are they next going to demand that anything having the word White in it be renamed? When was the last time there were protests by local or any Native American tribes? There’s a a crock, Native American, no one sprang out of the ground here, they were just here earlier and were just as likely to take other tribes land and enslave them.
I call for the Washington Post to change its racially insensitive name./s

Absolutely!

I was gave a sh*t about this but having stopped watching the NFL, NASCAR, NBA, etc. a long time ago, I don’t give one iota of a sh*t about it.
