We don't want to offend people of color like Elizabeth Warren

I am offended by the word “Washington” when it is reference to the District of Criminals.

Waiting for the NFL to catch up with public opinion??? All polls I have seen show strong support for keeping the Redskins name. Are these liberals deluded as to what the public really thinks about this issue??? Do liberals just talk to each other and reinforce each other’s liberal opinion, then assume that the rest of the world is liberal on this issue???

Doubling down...this will illustrate their irrelevance.

They just want to obliterate US culture. That’s the only goal.

The Redskins should cut off the Post’s access to the team and players

Catch up with public opinion? News flash for all the &^&^%*(&^%$-heads at cbs sports and wapo - the public at large does not now, nor ever did have an issue with the mascot name ‘Redskins’. And neither does any of the dozens of tribes in these lower 48.
The ‘controversy’ is all in your collective demented minds.

when their reporters show up after the game, they should be notified they are not recognized as reporters from the Washington Post as they consider them from the Post now.

The Redskin’s management should refuse to use the term “Washington Post” on press passes because it is offensive that they call themselves journalists.

The Mpls Star Trib did this some years ago.
Big whoop !

Oh, you’ve really found a great way to combat this nonsense.
We immediately begin a campaign to get the Post to remove the name Washington from it’s name, because it was taken on without permission, and it is demeaning.
All we need to do is find one or two Conservative Washington decendents, and we’ve got as good a case as the “Redskin” phobes have.
Excellent!

While the Compost is at it, perhaps they should also catch up to public opinion and stop referring to Obamacare as the Affordable Healthcare Act.

Fine, but now I think it is time for the NFL to be racially correct. Since blacks are only 12.6% of the population I immediately demand that that number is reflected in the rosters. If they want to be PC then be PC all the way and quit cherry picking. That means on a 53 man roster only 7 can be black. Change now!
To: Zakeet
Should send emails to them with just the word “Redskins” Redskins” Redskins” over and over.
I wish I was a subscriber, so that I could unsubscribe-— and let them know why.
