Look, Fat, here’s the deal, as Old Joe Biden would say: the left has won the culture wars. But that was just the first round. The second round isn’t going so well for the fascist forces of hatred and division masked as equity and inclusion. Patriots continue to pour Bud Light down the drain for trying to force the trans madness upon its unwilling customer base, and now the nickname wars, which Leftists had every reason to believe were won and settled once and for all, have taken an unexpected turn: a Native American group wants that football team in Washington to start calling itself “Redskins” again, or else face a boycott. Yes, a Native American group.
Washington’s WJLA reported Monday that “in a letter to the Washington Commanders Monday, the Native American Guardians Association (NAGA) demanded a meeting with the team’s new ownership to discuss a controversial name change.” Healy Baumgardner, who is president of NAGA’s Global Impact Campaigns, said that NAGA has asked the Commanders for a meeting several times before, and been repeatedly stonewalled: “We attempted to have an open dialogue with the now Washington Commanders since they made the name change several years ago with no response by them to have a conversation. We felt that it was time to apply public pressure.”
That public pressure comes in the form of a boycott threat, which, after the crash-and-burn of Bud Light, the Commanders should take seriously. NAGA’s letter “is the latest step in the organization’s ‘Reclaim the Name’ campaign, which seeks to bring back the team’s previously retired ‘Redskins’ monicker [sic]. A petition supporting the effort boasts over 60,000 signatures as of Monday night, a figure which matches the seating capacity of the Commanders’ FedEx Field.”

They should threaten to do a rain dance before every home game
It was (almost) never the Injuns complaining; it was white liberals.
Maybe Elizabeth Warren can help them out. Put her “skin” in the game.
“Shouldn’t they be going after that baseball team in Cleveland that used to be called “The Indians”? It almost sounds like a fan club for that Cleveland team.”
The team name the Yankees triggers me. As does the Blackhawks, and Braves. These names need to change immediately.
Laughing at the thought of the “Washington HMFICs” (For lurkers who don’t know: Head M*****F***** In Charge.) And the guy with a whole lot of stripes on his sleeve is the sergeant major, who has become a non-commissioned officer and has tons more experience than the commissioned officers who outrank him, because the commissioned officers have to keep getting promoted quickly to avoid retirement.
I wish that my high school, Fort Wayne North Side, which was the Redskins until a few years back when they changed it to the “Legends”, would revert to Redskins.
They’ve seen their last dime of my money. North Side Legends, my arse!
Not surprising. By removing the Indian referenced names, it erases their culture completely from our lexicon.
The University of Illinois are the Fighting’ Illini. They pay homage to tribe by incorporating their history to incoming students.
Pulling down monuments, removing books, changing the names of schools etc.
Go woke and you go into oblivion.
I will hand it to Desantoos, at least he wasn’t afraid to go after these ridiculous whims of the left.
Good governor but not remotely qualified to be president....
Bingo, Snowflakes don’t get that.
Should be the DC Robber Barron’s
"See, it's native Americans who want the name back. Please come to the games. Please buy merchandise. Please watch on television."
the symbol kind of looks like pentagon
