    Washington's owner said "we'll NEVER change our name, EVER.. " Good for him .. All the guys at dawgman and 80% here would prolly send in letters in support of the single nation who wants a name change .

    Man, just sell poker chips and shut the fuck up. (that's my opinion and it's fair). Who realky cares? Just have a beer, pull a slot handle, enjoy a buffet filled with bacteria, watch what's left of Styx, buy a carton of cigarettes for $2 and be happy you have something to do instead of staying home and watching the voice.

    Don't buy this very clever Indian businessman's bullshit. NO FUCKING BODY in his tribe is "offended" as he puts it. Members of his tribe are out enjoying extensive fishing and hunting rights, living off government checks, working cake jobs at the casinos and driving SUV's with $5000 rims and tires. Not racist, fact! I'm sure Kim would delete this, we'll see if this site is about free speech

    These rants have the most sensible thing you've posted all week.

    As one of the annoying white people that claims distant Injun roots from when some lonely white guys nailed squaws, the name has never bothered me.

    Would I be against a new name? No, but I won't lobby and annoy people. It's not something to get passionate about

    All the other name changes are pure political correctness. My high school changed its name in the 90's to appease these pussies until alumni threatened to withhold funds a yr or two later. Complete waste of time...

    Well, you have to draw the line somewhere don't you?

    I think the issue is just where the line is drawn?

    Would you think any of these potential sports team names would be over the line?

    The Jew Butt Rapists
    Christ Crucifer Squad
    The Nigger Jive
    The Spic Patrol
    The Small Dick Honkeys

    I'd suspect most would agree none of those are appropriate, so it really is just an issue of where the line is drawn, not that we have a line.

    (note, all words above are used only for editorial effect)


    We're talking about an existing name that has been a part of the NFL for a half century. Why now? Just stya and fuck yourself

    At some point stand up for yourself. Nobody has the balls to do it anymore. Don't swear at a duck this weekend guys, you might offend someone. Invite em on over for a hamburger at your first tailgate, and first cookout away from the condo ya Bunch-a-cunts ya. Its OK to take a shot of booze from a neighboring tailgater guys. You'll have 4 hours to burn it off
    . And its OK to stand up and clap too you guys. Even if someone behind you says "sit down". For once in your life you have permission to say "awe shucks we wanna stand our drunk-asses up you cocksucker!" Try it, its exhilarating !

    Would somebody provide a frame of reference Donny?

    The earliest I can remember this nonsense is Stanford changing their name from the Indians to the Cardinals in '72 or '73. That place also went co-ed with several frats a few years later and pissed everybody off on the West Coast - think they followed Brown and couple other progressive Ivies on the East Coast.

    When did this really pick up steam? I am just a caveman, I do not understand these PC concepts.

    There's a white spot on this pile of chickenshit.

    There's been so much PC bullshit in this area that I've lost perspective. When a local high school has to change their names from the Warriors to something gay (75k) because of racial sensitivity we have lost our soul. Nobody names their team something that sucks or they're making fun of unless its the WNBA.

    I don't know if the Redskins is offensive or not. I know it has a shitpot of history and is meant as an homage not a slur.

    I see the logical conclusion of this trend having Greenpeace rioting Miami's headquarters for them portraying dolphins as violent or Steve Irwin's family suing MLB for capitalizing on the Crocidile Hunters murderer for the Tampa Bay franchise. Hyperbole? Probably not in this fuckhole of a country we've become.

    TL,DR
