Perhaps change the name to the Forskins?

Too racy?

Ok, how about the Quadskins?

They ought to change it to the Washington Political Correct Compliant Football People.

Their logo can have a picture of every ethnic group that the world has every seen culminating in one giant rainbow underneath to accentuate their all inclusive, nonoffensive names.

No seriously they should just name it after an endangered species then everyone will be happy. They can have the name the pitbulls and then it will be a real rivalry when Vick plays them.

It was rough. Big Indian guy was dealing. Stone-faced joyless prick. If I had an 18, he had a 19. If I had a 20, he had blackjack. I got mowed down faster than Custer. LMAO

We can compromise on this.

Bob Costas is a ****ing tool and a douchebag.

And "Redskins" has no place in the year 20****ing13

Except on an NFL jersey.

I'm not sure why people can't figure out that the name is derogatory. It's not something that was thought up as an endearment; it was something that white people called Native Americans with nothing but 100% malice behind it. If we had a team called the Atlanta ****ers, whose logo was a slave head, anyone think it would still be around? No? Why not? Because there are a lot more black people around to complain than there are Native Americans, that's why. Or how about the San Fransisco Chinks, with an Asian guy as the logo? "Chiefs" and "Braves" are honorable, not derogatory. "Indians" is simply a misnomer thanks to Columbus not knowing where the **** he was. "Redskins" is a different matter.

You ****ing moron. Crackers were called crackers before black people started using that as a way to describe white people. It's not like the Washington football team was named the redskins and the mascot created and then people went "hey, that looks like an Indian. Let's start calling Indians redskins." If Keebler and Nabisco suddenly started putting pictures of soccer moms and white guys attempting to dance on their boxes, you might have a point.

Bob...putting the Ass back in CostAss

Personally I think they should keep the name and just change the logo to really piss people the **** off....

Imagine a new expansion team starting up with the Redskin name. I wonder if that would fly?


Announcing your Los Angles Redskins! San Antonio Redskins! Anchorage Redskins!

Redskins was a racist slang term a hundred and fifty years ago. These days the people who hate the American Indians call them Gut Eating Bastards. Least ways that's what the people in South Dakota do.

Perhaps they could go with a logo that's the shape of Long Island and change their name to the Deal Makers...

Short of that just change all the names (ours too) and just let there be little beyond history books to remember them by.

That's a new one to me... I wonder why the hate?

CrazyPhuD 10-14-2013 07:19 PM

To be fair the current logo is far more culturally sensitive than the original redskins logo.
