RFKFedEx Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 There was somebody in the north endzone with a "keep the name" sign yesterday. They flashed it on the jumbotron for a few seconds. The crowd cheered accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Amazing what some real issues like wife beating and kid whipping has done to this issue. Nary a peep from espn over this past week or any of the douchebag columnists that are championing the name change. Funny how that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Evan retired referee Mike Carey (who claimed to be sooooo offended that he couldn't officiate a Skins game fairly) made a cameo appearance on the CBS Redskins broadcast yesterday. I guess he's no longer offended now that he's making that $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosher Ham Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Those cartoons are just asking to be ripped apart. The Washington Redskins do not and have never represented that. Why is this so hard for people to understand ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Oh, no! 6 decades ago, people were racist ignorant assholes! whatever shall we do now? Oh wait! i know,, let's pretend that it has something to do with today's discussion! yeah! then we can act like we discovered something important, and use it to try to impress others with our google skills! Or, you can go kick your grandfather in the teeth for being part of such a disgusting generation. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Hog Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Guys, I did something I said I wouldn't do. I went to the Post, and sure enough, front page, a change the name article. Why did I try to give them another chance? I didn't even go there looking for sports, but sure enough, it's there, crammed right down my throat. I wish this god damn paper would go bankrupt, and shut down for good. I hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Peterson should be suspended or kicked out of the league for what he's done...kudos to Radison for canceling their sponsorship with the Minnesota Football Team. Redskins continues to be the third most valuable team in the league and our sponsors our going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwback37 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Just saw this online and didn't see it posted yet: WASHINGTON — Two members of Congress plan to send a strongly worded letter to the commissioner of the National Football League on Monday urging him to support changing the name of the Washington Redskins because it offends Native Americans and others, with one lawmaker saying she might reconsider the league’s tax-exempt status if it does not comply. Senator Maria Cantwell, Democrat of Washington State and chairwoman of the Indian Affairs Committee, said in an interview on Sunday that lawmakers would “definitely” examine the N.F.L.’s tax-exempt status and other ways to pressure the league. “You’re getting a tax break for educational purposes, but you’re still embracing a name that people see as a slur and encouraging it,” Ms. Cantwell said. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/10/us/politics/2-lawmakers-urge-nfl-to-change-washington-redskins-name.html?_r=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
