I hate to say it, but I think it’s best they change the name.

Why fight a losing battle.

In the future we should refer to the team as the:

F—king Proud Redskins!

It would be a short conversation if it were me...’get off my back with the name change or I’m going to sell the team to Rush Limbaugh’.

So....why NOW?

Will I still be able to buy Red Chief Apples, or does that not "count"?

And, they're gunna have to change the name of the State of Oklahoma. Look up what it means in Choctaw.

I just love how the minority now dictate to the majority.

Problem solved.

ooooh could you imagine the consternation in DC if he renamed the team the Washinton Tea Party... heads would develop into black holes from imploding.

They should just take out the “Red” and call themselves the Skins. That is their nickname now. Will Costas or the Obama a-holes still complain if they call themselves The Skins?

Re: 7thson- "I make a vow right now that if they change the name from the Redskins to anything else, I will never root for them again. I will throw my hat in with the Packers."

And big's- "Go Pack Go!! But please leave those ugly ladies with the pig noses in DC."

Make your own decision but... consider this, 7th:

You would leave the glory of the Deadskins for a team named after men forced to slave away... for very low pay to make "Council Meats" by the obviously racist "Indian" Packing Company?

You could, of course, become a fan of the Dallas Cowboys... who only herded organically raised cattle north to feed a needful and grateful nation--

Now, in order to fulfill my programming... the following must be posted on any Deadskins' thread:

And finally... a sign... of the times--

But never fear, 7th, you have company... here and... here!

Change the name. Hold a press conference and announce the change. Tell them you are changing the name and the city at the same time. 3 or 4 years move the “skins” to another city. Washington needs a jolt.

If they cave and change the name, they are no longer worthy of any respect.

I will throw my hat in with the Packers.

It probably won't be long before the Gay Mafia claims that 'Packers' is offensive ... :^)
