• I tried to read this twice and still can't decide if it's satire. Anybody, Buehler?

• They should change the name to the Washington Kochs as a big FU to crackpot Reid.

  • How about the Washington Pale Faces?

• They can keep the name Redskins. Just change the mascot to a potato.
  In fact change the mascot to a redskin Mr. Potatohead dressed as an
  indian chief.

  • Or maybe a Spanish peanut. Those have red skins on them, don't they?

• Not kidding here: I've heard lefties who say it's offensive to name teams after animals, because the animals have no say.

  Then, here in Tacoma, we had lunatics complain about the lumberjack mascot of a local college, because it's an "ultra male" character.

  What's left to name your team?

  • Teams are so elitist and exclusionary. We don't want those.

  • The Unicorn Farts.

  • Nothing but the LGBT Persons.
    Every team will be named that, with different generic LGBT caricatures on their helmets.

    • And for a mascot on the sidelines: someone wearing a costume with a huge fiberglass head of Harvey Milk.

      • ...or of the shooter.

• They tried this shit once before to only be smacked down by a federal court. If this one is successful, its only a matter of time before some other teams name will become offensive.

• Maybe they should be called the Washington Chain Gang.

  Say, how soon before there's no more Aunt Jemima pancakes?

  • or Uncle Ben's rice?

  • Or Uncle Ben's rice?

    • beat me to it!

• Have they learned nothing from the whole Sterling Fiasco? Give a Billionaire no out and they are going to lash out. If I were Snyder, I'd rename the team STFU (Socially Tenuous Football Umbrage) and instead of a redskin face, a big "I'm number one' finger salute, with the wrong finger.

  If we changed all the names of Indian based teams, they would say that we are trying to white-wash (he-he) Indians out of our culture.

  Just wait till Notre Dame looses "The Fighting Irish" protections..... that is when this non-sense stops. The mafia has nothing on ND alumni when it comes to fixing stuff.

  What about all the counties and school districts named after Indian tribes?

  • Hmm, Indiana + polis... city of Indians? I say we start with the Indianapolis 500.

    • Oklahoma is Choctaw for "red people". Look it up.

• Well, the Uppity Negroes would certainly work for an NFL team, now wouldn't it? I mean, how many Native Americans actually play for the Redskins?
