The Redskins nickname has been the forgotten NFL controversy of the past several months. With concussions and domestic violence dominating the off-field headlines, the nickname debate circling around the Washington NFL franchise has moved to the backburner recently.

so how do they intend to make reference to that...particular team?
will they invent their OWN NAME for the REDSKINS...or simply refuse to include them in their stinking paper?

Oh, please.
Political Correctness has run completely amok!
This is getting as bad as China during Mao’s “cultural revolution”.
And China executed the perpetrators of that crime after Mao went to hell.

I thought the Ass. Press had already “examined” its Redskins.

Probably something in full or in part to “The Washington NFL team.”

It’s about time some people got balls and stood up to this crap.
I feel like I am the only one who is sending mail and leaving comments every day to these nuts.

The left are the modern American communists and sadly the millions of ignorant sheep who watch shows like GMA, Today show, and their evening news have no idea what is going on.

Associated Press examining its use of the Redskins name I'm examining my use of the 'Associated Press' name. I believe it is more appropriate to call them the Associated Propaganda. I'm going to encourage the entire country to call them that.

Should we just called it Ass Press? Then again, they may enjoy that.

As if anyone other than the journ-O-lists at the AP rely on the AP “Style Book” to determine how they should express themselves. HAH!
