“Every Sunday during football season, the Washington, D.C. football team mocks their culture,”
Meanwhile the politicians in Washington D.C. mock our culture.
Nothing better else to do?
No scandals to look into, nothing?
I guess everything is OK in the USA.
John McCain and Rand Paul will soon be on that list, if not already.
No wonder vets are dying in VA hospitals when this is a priority of the Democrat majority!
But, of course, they are libtards. They don't want the responsibilities of ownership. They just want to order other people around.
The country is in a shambles and the so called “Senators” are worried about the Washington Redskins. Throw the “openly gay” bums out!!! They’re all worthless as hell!
How about FU
Czars are named after the totalitarian dictator Caesar. Obama has dozens of them. More than a name change, how about he gets rid of them altogether and then let’s talk about the name of a sports team.
Daniel Snyder needs to tell those 50 to pound sand. They have been the Redskins sine about the fourth or fifth year of existence. Leave the name alone. If those 50 don’t like the name Redskin, maybe they need to get out of D.C.. Permanently.
Can I make an observation?
We send congressmen and senators to Washington, DC, to perform the public’s business.
This seems like an issue which is NOT a legitimate function of our public officials. They should not be dealing with this on company time.
I really think that Dan Snyder knows how to run his team. And that includes whatever nickname he has for his team.
Due to political correctness, we are now making a federal case out of sports team nicknames???? Really????
I’ve heard talk that the Redskins may eventually want to build a new stadium, and that this stadium could be within the District of Columbia. If there are ever negotiations in that direction, look for them to be compelled to change their name, in exchange for them moving into the District.
As if anyone respects a senator.
Is “senator” not Latin for “slimy POS”?
..everybody's got one...

I’m more offended by the name “Washington.”
If I were the Redskins owners I would offer to build the stadium on indian land with the stipulation that the name be kept as is.
The team ought to thumb their noses and change the name to the “Injuns.”
How about the “Creepy A$$ Crackers”?
My offer to change the name to “Red’sKins” holds. Put a photo of someone named Red and his kinfolk.
