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.

I think all Silver's move did was put more pressure on himself by the standard he just set. Will have the same view of players like Kobe Bryant who used a homophobic slur towards an official? I read a newspaper headline from the NBA that said "NBA No. Bigots. Allowed.". If thats their new stance then fine, but they better be consistent or i think things could get really out of control with the PC crowd. Will they have the balls to stand up to guys like Kobe Bryant? Will there be more pressure then ever to ban the N word now? Silver just set the bar really really high. If he doesnt live up to his own words, then the NBA will look really bad. Just my opinion.

So, the idea isn't to, ya know, not be racist?
