Hard to believe anybody is wasting time or ink on this.
Until the team owner decides to change the name the Compost can call the team anything they want. Do it 500 times per editorial. That won’t affect the name. It will still be the Redskins.
This is akin to wishing your enemy would take poison and die.

No doubt they’re also planning to substitute “the Zionist Entity” for references to Israel.

This policy is limited to the editorial page. If the rest of the paper operated from such an ivory tower the place would have been padlocked years ago.

Chop, chop as the crowd roars. Killem, because we want to win. Now, thats racist :)..you go to your room. you pitiful loser, says sportscaster writers from the WPost.
The country is burring while they play touch my feelings.

WaPo is run by a bunch of smarmy little jerks.
Their moral superiority smells to high heaven.

Wow, you’re going waaaay back! Like to when Washington D.C.’s first families were once known as “cave dwellers”.
That probably hasn’t gone on since the end of Camelot. Nowadays D.C. `power people’ suck up to the likes of Sally Quinn or Michelle Obama. Really class acts, both of them.

I totally agree .and I would also start rumors about the possibility of moving a team to a city with a less hostile Work environment.And fewer useless eater politicians!

They need to rename the team the Washington Pre-Clovis People and leave the logo the same. Force the alleged indigenous people to prove they were here first.

After the Redskins came out in apparent support of Lynching a cop, I couldn’t care less about this team or anything else about the NFL.

The Washington team’s Brownskins who tried holding their hands up to stand in solidarity with Big Mike Brown should try a strong arm robbery of a convenience store if they want to really be like Big Mike.
To: Brad from Tennessee
I know what that’s like. When I talk about obastard I avoid using his name, also.
