    I like to pretend I'm outraged about the Redskins changing their name.

    If they can do this to the Redskins, they can do it to anyone they disagree with, to anything they deem politically incorrect. Hope that fucking helps.

    It's not a matter of mere political correctness. It's a matter of the origin of the word "redskin" is actually far worse than that of "nigger" - but feel free to be an ignorant dick.
    Says the guy who calls himself "Blackie." What are you going to do when Harry Reid comes for you because he doesn't like your screen name? It's a gross overreach of government power dumbfuck, and it sets a onerous precedent. They can shut anyone down they don't agree with or who they think is politically incorrect. Like others have said, the Indians don't give a fuck. It's only the squealing liberal gimps in Washington that do. And the only reason they're doing this is to detract attention from their tyranny and incompetence in other areas.
    To be clear, Chief, I don't want the government involved in dictating what one can or cannot name their business. I would prefer however for people not to be complete fucking assholes, but rather show some common decency when naming their business and not using terms that clearly celebrate/honor horrifying acts against a group of people.

    The Redskins are a business. You support the government coming in and forcing them to change their name. HTH. What happens when they start getting butthurt over the Chicago Bears (because a bear killed a vacationing politician in Alaska) or the Minnesota Vikings. But, but the Vikings were evil! They conquered other countries! We need to force them to change their name too!

    The market supports the Redskins being called the Redskins. Otherwise they wouldn't sell tickets. Damone and his libertarian horde should appreciate this logic. If you feel so strongly about it I hope you haven't watched any Redskin games. I'm sure you changed the channel and refused to watch them whenever they played.

    Since the Washington politicians forced this, the team should be renamed in their honor. Maybe something like the Washington Corruption, the Washington 84's, the Washington Gerrymanders or the Washington Gimps. I doubt the team in Moscow will think twice about squashing them underfoot.
    Holy shit dude you're so fucking wrong about me. It is entirely possible to think that something is wrong but not want the government/courts to intervene. I consider myself a libertarian. I believe it is abhorrent that they are called the Redskins. I believe they should/do have the right to call themselves whatever they want to, but every ownership group that has ever been involved is a complete fuckhole for not having changed the name. I believe the portion of the market that supports the name is full of ignorant assholes. I believe government intervention in this is 100% wrong. I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch.

    I don't watch Redskin games, because I generally don't watch NFL games. My football fandom is limited to support of my alma mater.

    Wait, what? Everything I said previously was along the same lines. I never contradicted myself. You were reading words that weren't actually there to begin with.
    You explained your viewpoint more thoroughly. I was mistaking you for a libtard. That's something I can agree with. I don't give a fuck if they change their name. I give a fuck when the government steps in and does it for them. So I guess we agree.

    Look up the history of the team.

    Avowed racist owner who after naming them said it was funny.

    Change the name.

    Plus fucking with Snyder is funny.



    I'm glad you're such a Washington Redskins historian.

    According to a quick read of the Internet:

    The Boston Braves moved to Washington where the name Redskins was adopted.

    Some say it was after a coach, who was later found to be a fraud Indian.

    Some say it was to combine the names Braves ... with Red Sox.

    Others (read you) say it was a racist who then laughed about it.

    So ... you're full of shit.

    Yes they were the last to integrate. The Redskins were also the first team to have a black QB win the Super Bowl.

    Do you get butt hurt over the Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, Chicago Blackhawks, Florida State Seminoles?

    Are you a Native American? How do you know it offends this race?

    Should Washington change well over 75% of their city names?

    Do you like taking a Wenatchee Banana?
    I keep seeing this lame dick argument over and over. First of all not saying those are great team names either but they aren't celebrating scalping Native Americans.

    How are some of you so thick headed in your ways to not see how this team name is offensive, should have been removed years ago, and why are you comparing this team name to others that aren't as offensive?

    Redskins is a very derogatory name. Go look it up. Like having a team called the wetbacks, niggers, etc. Just an awful team name that needs to go.

    The fans will get over it, buy new shit. Hell that city is used to it as they changed from the Bullets(cause of too many murders) to the Wizards so they can certainly adapt to another name change.

    Really.

    Redskins means celebrating scalping?

    Here I thought it was because Indian's have skin that is more red. Much like Chinese are considered Yellow skinned ... and whites are considered Crackers ... but you go on and believe what you want.

    End of day.

    If you don't like it, move on.

    You're giving the aboriginals a benefit of the doubt that they don't deserve. You're suggesting that they're cool with the origin of the word, when it's well known that they're drunk as shit and dumb as shit. They probably don't know any better.

    1. If Indians are are offended, then it's offensive and shouldn't be used
    2. The government forcing the change would be 100% bullshit
    3.?
