Good. The Washington Douchebags need their silly hypocritical crap shoved right back up in their faces.

Nobody makes money off a compliment and that is what this is all about.

“Having those negative stereotypes takes us back 100 years.”

Minnesota Vikings takes them back a ways. Then there’s the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - takes Floridians back to pirate days.
And how about the New England Patriots...how un-PC can you get?

That’s what “government help” eventually leads to.

I know the PC police have been trying to stir up controversy for some time, but the Indian nation never took the bait.

But, given enough time to indoctrinate their young and viola! Sudden victimhood.

The new name of the team should be the "Washington Lovers."

Let'a call them the "Washington Commie Skins" !!
but then we'd have to differentiate them from the Congress Critters since there would be some confusion ! !

Change it to “Rednecks”....idiot liberals would NEVER protest on their behalf. Besides, only in a liberal’s “mind” could having something named after you be discrimination.

I like a certain brand of dinnerware and silverware; but I simply cannot stand the name: “Oneida”. I think it is high time we stormed the corporate headquarters and protest the name of that ridiculous Indian tribe on my family table.
