RICHMOND, Va. — ESPN’s show First Take, with co-hosts Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman, visited Redskins Training Camp in Richmond Thursday to film on site. Kellerman was asked by the media on hand about the team this year, the NFC East, and the often-discussed controversial nickname. Kellerman said that not only did he think the name should change, but that it would happen under the current regime.

“Yes, it will change and Dan Snyder will change it,” Kellerman declared. “And I’m looking forward to that day, because I’m very disappointed in him right now.”

Snyder has repeatedly said that name is a badge of honor and that he will “never change the name.”

Kellerman dismissed attempts to downplay the seriousness of the issue through recent polls, as well as the implication that the idea of changing the name was capitulating to any individual who might be offended.

Kellerman has always been a whiny little maggot.

If he changes the name I hope it is the “Washington Politician Soap Droppers”.

Fighting Jihadis?

Washington Mad Mullahs?

Washington Squids?

Washington Insiders?

Washington Weasles?

ESPN has morphed into a total left-wing MSNBC version of sports. It started in the 90s, with Dan Patrick, Craig Kilborne, and Keith Olbermann when sportscasters became sarcastic and smart-alecky.

How much will it it cost him? Gotta be a lot. I think it’s a close calculation.

I am looking forward to the day when ESPN loses all its subscribers, and at the rate they’re going it won’t be that long.

I wonder what options he has to change it to something American Indian related to keep the logo.

Indians, Chiefs, Warriors and Braves are already taken.

There were Cherokees in Virginia, but the left wing pc police would be after them like they did FSU and the Seminoles. The Seminole nation seems to love it though.

I can’t believe that there are still aholes in this country who find this stupid, liberal nonsense a big deal. This ESPN snowflake girlyman needs to get a life. Come out of his “safe space” and get a REAL job that requires getting up in the morning and going to WORK.

Change it to the Washington Blackfeet. That has the potential to piss off more than one group.

Done with ESPN - they’ve lost a ton of viewership. Get rid of Bob Costas and the whole damn crew

I read an article recently that cord-cutting has led cable providers to come up with stripped down packages which leave out ESPN, and ESPN sued Verizon over it, which was recently settled (I don’t how it came out though).

The handwriting’s on the wall in any event.

Sounds suspicious. Why would Snyder even consider a change after this?

New poll finds 9 in 10 Native Americans aren’t offended by Redskins name

He'd be caving to political correctness and a small number of perpetual malcontents and ethnic hustlers.

Yeah, maybe they could dig somebody up for a few mil. The Pueblos, or somebody like that.

I thought no one watches ESPN anymore. They’re irrelevant!
