I suggest Mr. Snyder change the name to the Washington Foreskins to pay tribute to the prixx in Congress.
Here are more political correctness matters to consider: I too am insulted by the racially charged name of the Washington Redskins. One could argue that to name a pro sports team after Native Americans would refer to them as fine warriors and brave fighters, but no.
We must be careful not to offend, and in the spirit of brotherhood we must move on and ditch the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians.
If your panties are in a twist because the name Redskins refers to skin color, then let's also get rid of the Cleveland Browns.
The Carolina Panthers obviously refers to militant Blacks from the 1960s. Gone. It's offensive to whites.
The New York Yankees offend Southerners. After all, there is no team named for the Confederacy. Let's make no reference to a tragic war that cost this country so many lives.
I don't like references to religion in our sports team names. It's bogus to have Saints, Angels or Padres.
How AWFUL that team names glorify criminals. Let's dump the Raiders, Vikings, Buccaneers, Pirates and the NHL's Predators!
Wives and children are led astray by the Chargers, a name promoting irresponsible spending. So wrong.
The New York Giants and San Francisco Giants promote overeating and obesity, a growing epidemic. It's such a bad message, can't we call one of these teams the Organics, or the Egg Beaters?
This is a democracy, no blue bloods here, so out go the Kings and Royals. A pox on monarchies.
The Cincinnati Reds promote downers/barbiturates. Wrong message to young people and the gullible.
The Milwaukee Brewers .... it goes without saying . . . don't glorify drinking in a land where alcohol causes such heartache.
Car lovers hate putting up with the NBA's Indiana Pacers, since the Pacer was one of the worst cars ever to die on our city streets. Don't even think of naming your team the Pintos/
So, there we are. Please support legislation to fix these team names, because only the government has the power to protect us from such bad thinking. Economic recovery, jobs, immigration reform... pish tosh ... those non-issues can wait while our fearless congress addresses the grievous horror of team names.
As an Oregon State fan, we need to change the women's teams in Oregon to something other than "The Beavers." It's a hairy issue but we can do better.
Would you be okay with the name if they were called the Washington Blackskins?
Would you be okay with the name if they were called the Washington Blackskins?
Don't you understand that what I posted was HUMOR?

Irish are catholic scum. As a Judea-Protestant nation we can put the catholic scum down with impunity. You will never hear about any catholic being victimized. As soon as they are feeling victimized we can just switch up the conversation and consider them privileged whites which would end the discussion.
