Next the State of Oklahoma will have to change it's name because it means 'Land of the Red men'. Sure it is an Indian word chosen by Indians but it is clearly racist ...

Does this mean I won't be able to buy 'redskin' peanuts anymore? It's probably racist or something to call them 'Spanish' peanuts, too.

Good to see that all other problems have been resolved, but I agree that the team needs to have a name that is more reflective of their local community and its values. I suggest "Washington Foreskins".

Hey Steve, will my McLoud Redskins and the Tecumseh Savages have to change? They already interviewed the Kickapoo tribe in Mcloud and they all said, "we are proud to have been McLoud Redskins, we have a huge room full of athletic trophys to proove it. Here's how McLoud does against their biggest rivalry. Half these kids are injuns. -Anymouse

The Washington "Thinskins" with a petulant Harry Reid as the mascot.

Harry Reid won't attend any games until they change their name? Can we rename the Senate, the Redskins?

Is the government, the on with nothing better to do than go after a team mascot name, going to attack Ted Turner's Atlanta Braves, or the Cleveland Indians, or the Iowa Hawkeyes, or the Browning, Montana high school's Running Indians?

All this flap is just another way to distract The Ayatollah Obama's (may his head be forever shit upon by pigs) problems with the unimportant little things, like Benghazi, the IRS, the traitor swap with the Taliban, fast and furious, Obamacare lies and demands, etc., etc.

I'd change the name, if it was my team. I'd call it "The Bureaucrat Ball Crushers".

Here in Oregon, I'm continually offended by the Oregon ducks, an insult to all Avian-Americans. And don't beg me started about the Beavers.
