Wonder how much they are getting paid for their protest and where the funds came from.....
No you don't. Polls show that over 80% of us are NOT offended by the Redskins name. In fact, many of our reservation high schools have teams we've named the Redskins.
Let’s welcome your 2015 Washington Thinskins!!!
How quickly people forgot about the Name change Bud Adams made with the Houston Oilers, which became the Tennessee Oilers, then the Tennessee “Titans”...
IIRC, the term “Titan” in the southern vernacular could be equated to an old term of an offshoot of the KKK...
I stand to be corrected, but that is what I recall when it first came out, but it kinda went away fairly quickly from the conversations in the sports media, and therefore dropped from a lot of peoples minds soon afterwards...
I wonder if this “mascot name” will ever be brought up again???
Foreskins works for me!
The potential helmet emblem for that idea...Almost makes me shudder...You know, that preamble to vomiting...

I find lobbyists offensive.
I find playing the race card offensive.
I find self mutilation offensive.
...and I find tiresome things offensive:
I'm really tired of "high fives". Especially adults soliciting them from children.

I would love to meet that woman and say, “Tell me bout it, it sho ain’t no fun bein’ a old redneck wid white hair, I can’t blink my purty eyes widout sum turkey callin’ me a racis.”
And I find that mirror in the bathroom especially offensive!

Washington Flaccid Congressmen
I was very offended by all the news reporting about James “Whitey” Bulger. Oh, I didn’t really mind the Whitey so much but “Bulger” is offensive to anyone who has ever had a potbelly. .
