Obama, meanwhile, told The Associated Press this fall that he would think about changing the name if he owned the team.

And then said that if he owned a team, it would look like the Redskins.

Mitch finally called him a dictator.

You mean Mitch, "I love the Tea Party" McConnell? It thought KY already primaried his a$$. Why is he still pretending?

(Obviously I know they haven't had the primary election yet.)

How about 'Washington Reidskins' --- Perfect name for the DC elitist cretins to behold.

We live in a society where you can’t denigrate a race of people.

Agreed. That's bad manners and should be discouraged.

And that’s what that is.

Classic example of the logical fallacy of Begging the Question. Doesn't prove his claim, just states it as a fact and expects us to agree.

They could be the “DC Thugs”. Then they would embody the character of the town the represent. Yea, the Washington DC Thugs. It fits.

Or....

The Politicians
The Takers
The Felons
The Shysters
The Nannies
The Ninnymuggins
The Redasses
The Commies (That might be offensive to libs)

I guess Harry doesn’t like the fact that the team’s name actually is referring to the Congress!

Harry Reid is from Nevada. Nevada means "snow-capped" in Spanish.

Snow is white.

Ergo, Harry Reid is a vicious racist.

“Washington Redskins should change their name”

How about the Landover Redskins or the DC redskins?

Maybe Harry Reid should stick to his own state. After all, UNLV is a GOVERNMENT school, and their nickname are the [slavery loving] REBELS. In case that was too subtle, the colors are Confederate grey and slave-blood red.

I’m offended!

The only reason they should change their name would be their play on the field is embarrassing to American Indians.

>> Just make a Potato the team mascot!

HELL NO!!!!!

Do NOT, EVER, give in to the leftists. The leftists don't give a rat's ass about a football team's name. The leftists' only goal is to make you SUBMIT.

Yes, you, personally.

The leftists want you groveling at their feet, and will take any opportunity to compel you to do so, in ways large and small.

Hail to the Redskins!

Not as embarrassing as the Cowboys are to real Cowboys.

If real Cowboys were like the football team, all of their cattle would get stolen during the cattle drive.

That wouldn’t be giving in to them, it would be poking them in the eye!

Um ... No.

Any change to the name or its reference (to American Indians) ... is tantamount to admitting that the leftists are right about it being offensive, and is an act of submission to them.

Calling the team "Landover Redskins" would be a poke in the eye.

Washington Senators is the most offensive name I can think of and that was already discarded in baseball.
