Imagine if Paul Brown’s name was Paul White? The Cleveland Whites? Pass the popcorn.

I recommend the Redskins change their name to Foreskins.

At some point, protests will be lodged against the New England Patriots for their offensive name.

I am very offended by their insensitive use of the sacred word "slate."

Risking the wrath of many here in Dallas, I might just have to become a Redskins fans.

The team chose the name “Redskins” because it’s wimpy?

I think Giants is an offensive term to shorter people. /sarc.

The PC Police have arrived. Well they already got rid of the "Bullets". And what about the "Nationals", doesn't that endorse Nationalism and Jingoism? Can't have that.

Some of my ancestors were redskins (Huron), and the Washington team name is OK by me!

I like to eat redskin peanuts. I guess I’m racist.

The 49ers were racist miners abusing celestials in Old California!

Change the name to the Washington Thin-Skinned Panty-Wastes.
To: Clint N. Suhks
So the Redskins are targeted because they have an offensive nickname but an ordinary, acceptable image of an American Indian on their logo.
The Cleveland Indians, meanwhile, have an inoffensive nickname but are targeted because they use a silly caricature of an American Indian for their logo.
Man, this is getting tiresome. Will the last whining Injun please turn out the lights when you leave the room?

At some point, protests will be lodged against the New England Patriots for their offensive name. Of at least subject their tax filings to extra scrutiny and audits.
