They should keep the name “Redskins” and change their logo to a peanut...problem solved.

Key phrase:

“NPR has always set a high bar on use of language that may be offensive to our audience.”

Considering that 50 IQ liberal apes listen to NPR, here’s an appropriate word list:

Oogh-ugh. Snort! Banana. Grrrr. Roar! Oargh-gaaa. Phfffft! Banana. Ptooey! Fart.

“I take offense to the Washington used in all those examples. I’ll bet if George was around, he’d take a flame thrower to the place.”

I agree and noticed that myself as I made the list. Let me make a revision of proposed names.

“DC Crooks”

“DC Elites”

“DC PCs”

They should drop “Washington” from their name, it’s an ugly and hateful word.

It's so absurd.

First, Indian-Americans aren't from India, but they've adopted that name, so, whatever.

Second, they call themselves "The Red Man" as in the chewing tobacco.

What's the big deal about saying red-SKINS?

Indians call themselves "red" all the time.

Even the kookiest left-wing Indian activists write columns titled "The Red View", or "Red Woman Thoughts".

They clearly embrace being called "red people".

So much ado about nothing.
