Listening to Mike/Mike this morning their all lathered up about Silver dropping the boom on Sterling now puts pressure on Goodell and Snyder to do something about the "offensive" Redskins name. They referenced the Harry Reid comments from above. With the way the country is going, you would think Reid would have more to do than worry about the name of a football team.

The Redskins name isn't going to change. Danny boy already wrote a letter to us redskins fans that was a big frick you to the NFL.

If Reid is focused on the Redskins (which isn't changing), then he can't destroy America any more than he and other politicans already are. It's a good thing because it's meaningless.

I'm upset Mike isn't focused on his Alma Mater "fighting Irish." That is a horrible stereotype that I think we should be beyond in this day and age.

I doubt it will change, high schools and colleges use the same type of names. They've been dealing with the same issues and haven't changed.

I personally think teams should get rid of Rebels before and type of Indian name usage. Teams use a name to embrace who they are and representing. Representing the history of Indians/Tribes is more politically correct than representing slavery/Secession from the United States.

Goodell is a puppet for the owners. He takes the heat for their decisions. Snyder has one of the deeper pockets in the league, which means he can do what he wants unless all the other owners turned on him

Here's an idea for all of the people "offended" by the Redskins name, either root against Washington, or move to another contitnent if it bothers you that much.

No. The players were behind Silver and wanted him to crush Sterling. Only a vocal minority of idiots with white guilt want to change the 'skins name.

Harry Reid knows that drastic times call for drastic measures!
