That actually ain't too bad....



But Redskins fans are too diehard, I don't think it'll change & will forever be a thorn in the franchise's side

it's an awful name, and unfortunately snyder already owns the rights to it as an escape route. last thing we need is some ultra militaristic nationalist bullshyt in one of the top 3 liberal cities in america

i support a name change btw. but not to that

Snyder & anybody with influence on this aren't gonna move on changing the name until money could be potentially lost. At this point it's just shock pieces & outrage columns, which are ok, but aren't mobilizing people. I'd be more impressed if there were 20-30K protesting outside of every Redskins game until they change it, not these faux outrage articles we see every couple months or so

Why not "Washington CACs" instead?

What's wrong with the "Washington Peckerwoods"?

I mean, CACs are the majority so against a name change, and comprise the majority of those who could effect change financially...

So use THEIR racial slur.

Picture Joe Buck saying nikkaz lost

"Checking in around the league the Washington nikkas got blown away in Green Bay today, and Troy now their post season hopes hang in major jeopardy"

Fucc this dude that wrote this article! Why did he have to shyt on black folks to prove his point? Black folks don't have anything to do with this issue. I do agree with the people and understand that the Redskin name is offensive to Native Americans. I totally get that. But for this dude to take issue with black folks because we ain't as vocal protesting against the "redskins" name and organization is total bullshyt.

Where were Native Americans when Black folks were gettin their heads bashed in, dogs sicked on them, gettin lynched, beat up by police, couldnt drink from fountains? Native Americans we're not out in the streets marchin with black folks fightin for civil rights.


If this dude that wrote this column has issue with the name Redskin, then fine. But don't start bringin up a slur on black folks to support his position

There's not 20-30k Indians left to protest.

to be fair...most of the natives were well dead by then...

I support this message

But Chicago and Invictus make good points

Doesn't have to be all American Indians. Can be black, white, Indian, Latino, Asian, etc
