In my world (yes, I know a large part of is fantasy-based), an athlete playing for the Redskins would refuse to be interviewed by someone who won’t call his team by name.

In my world (yes, I know a large part of is fantasy-based), an athlete playing for the Redskins would refuse to be interviewed by someone who won’t call his team by name.

Oh, but there's a better way. Accept the interview. And answer as follows:

Q: Well, that was quite the comeback after a tough third quarter. What made the difference?

A: Two words: Redskin Pride. When you are a Redskin, with Redskin supporters backing you even when down, you think of the Redskins of old, and it gives you the strength to be better, the strength of the Redskin tradition that we always strive to live up to."

Q: So, the Washington tradition and fan base helps you in what way, specifically?

A: There isn't a "Washington" tradition. After all, the team began in Boston. It is our Redskin tradition when the first NFL marching theme, "Hail to the Redskins" is played. If the team packed up and moved to Honolulu tomorrow, we'd still be the Redskins. We go back to the leatherhead days of the '30s, and no slick packaged western expansion team that angled its way into the Eastern division can draw upon that, and we proved it today.

The same in my world.

Better yet, wait for an interview. When the pc-caster uses Washington instead of Redskins, refuse to answer and say if you can't get the name of my team right, this is a waste of my time. Turn around and walk away.

Or the player should use the name Redskins at every opportunity during the interview instead of the standard ‘we’ or ‘team’.
