It's going to end up happening no doubt. Once the movement starts these days, it's almost impossible not to succumb to the pressure.

I wish Dan Snyder would continue to give a big fat FU to all those who continue to push him on this.

Paleskins in honor of the white man. While at the same time mocking the Indians and liberals who are driving this dumb shite.

I have lived in Northern Virginia since 1973. I have never been able to bring myself to be a Redskins fan. I hate Dan Snyder. But I applaud his decision to tell everyone who wants him to change his team's name to go frick themselves.

Since they will ultimately change their name due to pressure, I'd suggest Washington Warriors and keep everything you have now.
This would be the most logical and end all the grief, but it would be one more cave-in to the PC thought police bullies. And yes, they will eventually come after the Ragin Cajuns at ULL because somebody will imagine there is an offended coonazz out there in the swamp somewhere who is being oppressed by this mascot/nickname. And then Tigers because ours is an endangered species and we keep a live one in a cage. They will come after the Saints name because it is overtly religious and not everybody is.

Eventually it might even be politically incorrect to identify a pro team with a city, state or region because it might discriminate against people who don't live in that area, or who are not originally from that city/area, or who are alienated from it for some reason known only to the bleeding hearts (who seem to know best for all of us).

When will it all end? They will take as much as the rest of us will give them.

Before renaming the team, why not just move it out of D.C. - to hell with Washington. Relocate to some place in "flyover country" and keep the name Redskins. I can see it working well out West, like Oklahoma City or Lincoln, Nebraska, Wichita, KS, Salt Lake City. Or even Louisville, Birmingham, or Memphis.

But if there is a renaming, and if it stays in DC, a perfect nickname would be the fighting "Lobbyists." or the Washington Bleeding Hearts or the Corruptors. Would all work well in this context.

It's all so ludicrous.

The situation is pushed by people who want to bitch and garner attention in their unaccomplished lives.

An independent group is launching a national anti-redskins ad campaign starting during tonight's NBA finals game.

I refuse to listen to arguments on this or give it any thought until a group comprised solely of members of recognized Native American (frick, is that even the correct term anymore? Damn PC asshats.) members raises it as an issue. When someone with a dog in the fight complains, I will listen.

so, you want to go to their wigwam, smoke the peace pipe, and discuss how much wampum it will take to make this problem disappear?
