In bourgeois society … the past controls the present; in communist society, the present controls the past.

Just putting the Manifesto into action, yet again.

[Skywise]

The communist purge continues.

Facts? History? Not important - we must destroy and only have the perfect socialist utopia.

No more stadium support - burn them all down.

The baseball Braves moved for Boston to Milwaukee in 1953 then moved again to Atlanta in 1966. Eddie Mathews was the one player who was with the club in all three locations.

I think the franchise should be dissolved and have its assets seized and given to BLM. Removing references to the founder isn’t enough to remove the taint.

[a fool in paradise]

Call them the Commie Reds.

The Left will love that.

[right way right]

I think they should just change the name to Washington Injuns.

[HypatiaTaught]

Good...

How about just Washington Rats?

[right way right]

There ya go. Works for me.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Perhaps it would be easier to just rename the team THE REDSKIN POTATOES.

[ChronicMA]

I think they’ll name the team the “Washington DC Statehood Matters”

Once our new city-state is forced upon our nation, they will select a new name.

[dblshot]

NFL, Not For Long.

They also claim that he was “strongly in favor of segregation” . . . without evidence.

The Washington Redskins have decided to remove all references of original owner George Preston Marshall, who founded the team in 1933 and owned it until his death in 1969.

Why? The Redskins were the last team in the league to bring in black players, and Marshall was the driving force behind the league's original ban on black players from 1933 to 1945. Erase him from Skins history and the NFL's history and who exactly did get black players banned from the NFL and the Skins? Invisible pixies?

Watch the Bears go after George Halas, too.

[dfwgator]

First, go “Redskins”, then goes the “Washington”.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I’m waiting for them the remove the name “Washington”.

[IronJack]

Ask Joe Stalin how it’s done. With Photoshop, it should be even easier.
