Washington Redskins hold press conference to reveal their name change
Unknown ^ | 9/29/14

Posted on 09/29/2014 6:09:46 PM PDT by yorkie

Today, the owner of the Washington Redskins, Dan Snyder, announced that the team has agreed unanimously to change their name, after receiving so much national controversy.

This, from Mr. Snyder: "Today, we made the decision to agree to change the name of our team. Instead of "Washington Redskins", we will now be legally known as "REDSKINS". (We removed the name 'Washington', as it was too embarassing.)"

I hadn’t read the ‘new rules’, Responsibility2nd. I’m so sorry my post upset you - and any others. I will ask the mods to remove it, then.

Any truth to the rumor they are moving the team to Nashville and renaming it the Nashville Rednecks?

I don’t mind satire, but I do hate sarcasm. I think anyone whom posts a sarcastic reply without a /sarc tag should be zotted, banned and forced to spend a week with humblegunner.

Grrrr some more.

Call them the “Washington Reagans

That would be good, because it would make rat liberal, socialist, and communist heads explode. It would be a beautiful thing. They would be screaming for the Redskin name to be reinstated.

Yes! We’ve suddenly become way too dumb to figure out satire when it’s posted. We need help!

Chutzpah punk.

You didn’t read the tablets, brought down from the mountain, where satire was part of the commandments?

You make me sick!

I will pray for you, to my golden calf and hope Aron doesn’t smite thee

She apologized and you come back with this? Shame on you! Why not just accept that apology and let it go? A little humor is much needed these days!

BTW...Perhaps someone should teach you some manners as you speak of another and don't bother to ping them. That is a no-no!

What really frosts my cake is some goober who fails to recognize satire AND sarcasm. Ban and zot them.

But I know you are also playing along and do ‘get it’ as is evident by your funny and witty reply.

Grrrr at you too.

Only the part about spending a week with Humble. I might be a hateful SOB, but I’m not THAT sick.

We are supposed to have it explained to us up front that this is satire.

If it ain't fishin, fightin or the limbic limbo they got to draw us a picture.
