I have long recommended that they be renamed to “the Dead Skins.”
skin time weight in. What about the CommieSkins?
I believe that the DC radio station that covers the Redskins’ games calls them only the “Skins.” It’s been that way for a few years now.
I live in the DC area, but I not a native. I’m not a big fan of Dan Snyder or the Redskins. But I applaud Snyder’s refusal to knuckle under (so far) to this pressure to change the team’s name. These people need to get a life. They’re not happy unless they’re ruining somebody else’s.
That's because radio sports announcers are always trying to "out-cute" each other, primarily through abbreviating names and terms.
'Skins = Washington Redskins
"A's" = Oakland Athletics
D-backs = Arizona Diamondbacks
K's = Strikeouts
I can understand the use of RBI instead of Runs Batted In, but "K" for Strikeouts? Come on!
Back to the Washington Redskins and the need to get rid of the "R-word", just change it to the Washington RedNECKS!
Hang, we don't mind being called the "R-word". Especially if we can get a percentage of the royalties & license fees!
Or, with all the many NFL players now sporting dreadlocks, maybe the R-word could be changed to:
Washington Reggaes
or
Washington Rastafarians
/s
Forget all of the above.
The new “R-word” and team name is:
The Washington RGIIIs!
Only problem is that he is modest and probably insist on it being seen as a team
...a team
...our team
R-team...
yeah, that’ll work.
The Washington R-team! (insert your own favorite meaning for “R”)
Cancel the Compost. Keep the Redskins.
Won't happen - it turns them on - thank the stars that Wisconsin isn't into the fudge-making business..
I canceled the ComPost almost 20 years ago.
Bear down CHICAGO BEARS!!!
