LOL...

I think we have a Winnah ! .....that’s a goodn

Go team!!...The Washington Wagon Burners

The Spelunkers ,




because they caved .

We have read dozens of threads and hundreds of posts about all the people on here that were abandoning the NFL because of their stances on issues, and yet many get all involved in naming teams. Lot of passive-aggressive behavior. I guess many are easily distracted from their stated principles.

Bryce

It's all in jest but thanks for playing!

Under mob rules, isn't Washington cancelled yet too? Not just the Redskins?

They should have done a vote, let the natives vote...

How about the Washington Monuments????

Exactly

Except the Pack!

The LGBT crowd is going to make Green Bay switch their name , don't ya think ?

i'm surprised "washington" hasn't been on the chopping block...


How about the D.C. Donkeys??????????????????????

They changed our local team name because "Hillbillies" was was supposedly racial. Unbelievable

This seems like the place for reposting a funny article that was deleted a couple weeks back after I let myself be drawn into a brief flamewar. Please keep comments centered on the joke, and not the person posting it.



This is an e-mail sent to Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune after
an article he published concerning a name change for the Washington
Redskins.

Dear Mr. Page: I agree with our Native American population. I am
highly jilted by the racially charged name of the Washington Redskins.
One might argue that to name a professional football team after Native Americans would exalt them as fine warriors, but nay, nay. We must be careful not to offend, and in the spirit of political correctness and courtesy, we must move forward.
Let's ditch the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and the
Cleveland Indians. If your shorts are in a wad because of the
reference the name Redskins makes to skin color, then we need to get rid of the Cleveland Browns.

The Carolina Panthers obviously were named to keep the memory of
militant Blacks from the 60's alive. Gone. It's offensive to us white
folk.

The New York Yankees offend the Southern population. Do you see a
team named for the Confederacy? No! There is no room for any reference to that tragic war that cost this country so many young men's lives.
I am also offended by the blatant references to the Catholic religion
among our sports team names. Totally inappropriate to have the New
Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Angels or the San Diego Padres.

Then there are the team names that glorify criminals who raped and
pillaged. We are talking about the horrible Oakland Raiders, the
Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh
Pirates!

Now, let us address those teams that clearly send the wrong message to our children. The San Diego Chargers promote irresponsible fighting or even spending habits. Wrong message to our children.

The New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants promote obesity, a growing childhood epidemic. Wrong message to our children.
The Cincinnati Reds promote downers/barbiturates. Wrong message to our children.

The Milwaukee Brewers. Well that goes without saying. Wrong message to our children.

So, there you go. We need to support any legislation that comes out
to rectify this travesty, because the government will likely become
involved with this issue, as they should. Just the kind of thing the
do-nothing Congress loves.

As a die-hard Oregon State fan, my wife and I, with all of this in
mind, suggest it might also make some sense to change the name of the Oregon State women's athletic teams to something other than "the Beavers (especially when they play Southern California. Do we really want the Trojans sticking it to the Beavers???

I always love your articles and I generally agree with them. As for
the Redskins name I would suggest they change the name to the
"Foreskins" to better represent their community, paying tribute to the
dick heads in Washington DC.

Pete You made me laugh out loud!!

Scarletskins then?

Lets do one better, don't name them get rid of them. Along with NASCAR. JMO

^^^^^ yep that would do it

Washington Kneebenders. But I like the sound of Washington Rednecks. And not offended either.

How about the DC Dbags. The name Washington offends at least one person out there and apparently that's all it takes anymore to changes 200+ years of history.
