“My suggestion: call them the Skins, which is what people called them anyway.”

Given that their home base is DC, “Reds” is probably more appropriate than “Skins”,

I have an unopened bottle of Old Coke commemorating the Skins’ SB 17 victory. I’ll never open it, and I can’t bear to part with it. Any guesses how much it’s worth?

I heard a comedian on Carolla talk about meeting Dexter Manley in prison, and what a nice guy he is. He’ll always have my gratitude for crushing Danny White.

It’s DC.. Foreskins would be more appropriate.

It would be an interesting exercise to find those responsible for instigating the initial complaint. Fix those responsible and scrutinize those hat hold sway over American businesses.

I thought “Washington Football Team” was the greatest eff you to the name-change culture. It was funny as hell and they should have kept it.

The more liberal folks skipped the “Washington” and referred to them as “The Nation’s Capital Football Team”

Indians want the name, “Redskins,” to be gone.

I'm not convinced that was ever true.

I think it was mainly pudgy middle-aged blonde White women with wedge haircuts ...

PETA doesn’t want animal named teams.

Liberals don’t want minority named teams.

The world is upside down...............

Oh, wait! Now there are Indians who want the name, “Redskins,” to be reinstated!

I think the Indians should have been more upset that their mascot for all those years was a black guy.

RIP Chief Zee and Crazy Ray.

“Should we need to encourage a national boycott similar to what happened with Anheuser Busch (Bud Light) which is now down $27 billion (note, not one brick thrown, not one highway blocked, not one bridge burned)"

Zing!

Add the baseball team in Cleveland to the list. You know, the one formerly named in honor of the first Amer-Indian (my preferred term, since everyone born here is “native”) to play in the majors. I’ve got two tribes in my ancestry and refuse to follow a team named for a pair of concrete statues on a decaying bridge.
