Poll: Should the "Redskins" name be changed?

[benderbender]

If they change the name at all it should be the Washington Offenders

[C.Biscuit97]

yeahhhhh..... i'd stick w/ Redskins. Im just an "evil bigot" though.

 

I won't say you're an evil bigot but if you aren't a member of that group, you can't understand what it feels like. I've always been consist. Ask the majority of Native Americans and if they want to keep the name, then keep it. But there's a huge difference between honoring a tribe (Seminoles, Illini, etc.) or a name like Braves than a racial slur.

 

Of course, I will know be labelled a violator of the 1st amendment and too PC.

There are still way too many people in Washington that are for skins

Just plain stupid

[Nanker]

For the last time, keep the name. Change the logo:

They should be renamed the Washington Pigskins - nickname would remain the Skins or informally the Hogs.

[Bills!Win!]

Or how about Washington skins

The historical Braveheart killed Englishmen

The story of Braveheart is about standing up to a tyrannical and abusive King. Washington DC is home to a tyrannical and abusive central authority. To link Braveheart with modern DC tarnishes this Scottish story

 

As person of both Scottish and English descent, I am doubly offended by this name

I think they're discriminating against cowards.

 

Next up: getting the Jets to change their name to the Hot Air Balloons. Because, y'know...jets emit too many greenhouse gasses. Then get the Yankees to change their name to "Emancipators" ("Yankee" carries a connotation of oppression in the South; "Emancipators" is much more PC), the Kansas City Royals to the Kansas City Democratically Elected Representatives (because this is America, we don't do royalty here. Ditto the LA Kings), The Edmonton Oilers to the Edmonton Wind Farms (for obvious reasons.) And finally, the Miami Dolphins to the Miami Panty Liners....because !@#$ Miami, that's why.

I can't believe this stupid who cares thread went 42 pages. I don't care if they call them the Washington savages, and use a scalping as there logo. Let's take this international and get the Edmonton Eskimos.

That would offend fat people

That would offend fat people

But that's okay, since the majority of Americans are fat

This is actually the best idea I've heard (other than just keeping the name).

[DC Tom]

Just to be safe and make sure we don't offend anyone, lets rename all sports teams to "Steve."

Well I think to avoid confusion they should all be called Bruce.

Aussie-rules football have that trademarked, I think.

What if someone prefers Stephen instead of Steve?

You are discriminating against Steven.
