Obama open to name change for Washington Redskins
Associated Press JULIE PACE 5 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says that if he owned the Washington Redskins, he would "think about changing" the team name, wading into the controversy over a football nickname that many people deem offensive to Native Americans.
Obama, in an interview with The Associated Press, said team names like the Redskins offend "a sizable group of people." He said that while fans get attached to the nicknames, nostalgia may not be a good enough reason to keep them in place.
"I don't know whether our attachment to a particular name should override the real legitimate concerns that people have about these things," he said in the interview, which was conducted Friday.

If I had a football team, I'd name it “The Conroe Crackers” or “Flighty Whiteys”....how’z bout the “Houston Anglos”.

Fine. Sounds like a fair trade. Give Soetoro The Redskins and let The Redskins’ front office run the country.

“Who says it’s any of his f’n business?” +1
“He suggests the Washington Islamists.”
Every time the quarterback drops back to throw the bomb, “Homeland Security” locks down the stadium.
Best answer I ever saw was on FR a couple of weeks ago. Change the Indian Head to a potato...problem solved. Next.
Yeah, as if Obama’s basketball knowledge is going to be useful to an NBA team. God help such a team.
Washington Traitors.
Since when is it up to him?
Change it to this. Let the hilarity ensue.

Unless he owns significant shares in the franchise, it is NOHB [None of His Business].
I know right, this coming from a POTUS who locks out WW2 vets from seeing the PRIVATELY FUNDED WW2 memorial! This guy is just the biggest freakin’ POS going. The ONLY reason he is making this comment on the Redskins is the exact same reason he commented on the Trayvon case: To exacerbate racial tensions. That is ALL he has done since day one: Destroy the US from within while doing everything he can to empower and spread radical Islam. When the hell is Congress going to wake up to the fact that we have a foreign enemy agent “leading” this country and impeach his ass before he does anymore damage?
Just change the team mascot to a potato and you don’t even have to change the name. See how easy that was!
Washington Red Ink would be an appropriate name.

The Congressional Black Caucus should be renamed the Washington Thinskins.
