Here's a little article to add a laugh to your day.

The Washington Aborigines.

That should do it.

[rlmorel]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

THAT is too funny!

[IronJack]

They could call themselves the “Crackers.” That seems to be an acceptable ethnic epithet these days. It’s only offensive to 80 percent of the population.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Since they’re based in DC, how about the Washington Power Whores?

[null and void]

The Washington Betters...

[Einherjar]

How about The Washington Foreskins..........they have a lotta pricks in that town.

[IYAS9YAS]

Drop one letter, rearrange another, and we get Redinks.

I’m sure the Redskins management doesn’t give a hoot what Slate does.

[sockhead]

Maybe I’m wrong on my sports history and I didn’t take time to check it out, but I think the Redskins originated in Boston and were named for the tea party Redskins. Similar situation with the basketball Bullets being from Baltimore and named for the armory. And while their name change to Wizards was in honor of Edgar Allen Poe, in my mind Wizards seems more related to the KKK than Poe.

[Steve_Seattle]

I think the Oregon State BEAVERS should change THEIR name - totally offensive. (sarc)

[marron]

asking, urging, and haranguing the Washington Redskins to ditch their nickname, calling it a racist slur and an insult to Indians

Its not a slur if you're proud to be a redskin.

[Benito Cereno]

I am terribly offended by this school's mascot and I demand it be replaced with something more appropriate.

There, fixed it.

[Terry L Smith]

The Washington Redskins shall forever be named so, by me, in all of my 55 years of watching football games.

That predates “the pre-conception gleam in the eye of the daddy of the author of that story.

[JimRed]

Eff those so-called Indian activists. If they’d had a bigger defense budget, they’d still own this place!
