Then the next generation of leftoids will protest, because it's rooted in war... and they'll be back where they started.Quote:

If they all went bankrupt, I wouldn't even notice (Unless they got a bailout)
He should rename the team the Washington Trumps just too watch the libtards meltdown.
For some reason the expression "Bread and circuses" came to mind. The continuation of pro sports despite closures and social distancing and stimulus checks. What are we being distracted from?

Now they have to change the name to something like RedLobsters or RedLibsters.
Now if the name Red Lobsters will bring endorsement $$$ from Darden Restaurants...... [LOL]
To avoid offending people who care, use a name that no one cares if you use
Team Ten
I am a mutt with blood ranging from Scandinavia to Mongolia. Should I be offended if a team uses the term "Mutts"?
The 'Skins haven't had a good season since Mark Rypien priced himself out of the QB position. They should just go ahead and rename themselves to the Washington Billaries and be done with it.
I stopped following professional sports after I got back from Korea. The NFL became Nincompoops, Felons, and Losers where guys threatening their own teammates were protected while the league made up reasons to get rid of guys who acted according to their religious beliefs. Cities were held hostage by professional teams (not just in football) to get new stadiums, tax write-offs, etc. then saw those teams leave anyway. Eff them all.
Right now, name changing PC name is least of concern.
People inside the redskins might get fired or resign from this new bombshells accusations.

From what I understand, the firings already happened. The 'skins news has made the MSM suddenly forget the HR issues going on within the NY Times.Quote:

No apology necessary. I was just sharing what I've heard/read about it. This is a collaborative effort. ;-)
An article from today:
Washington owner Dan Snyder responds to allegations of sexual harassment: 'No place in our franchise or society'
Quote:
Snyder hired a local law firm to review the team’s culture and conduct, which he said will allow the team to implement new policies and procedures.
“Beth Wilkinson and her firm are empowered to do a full, unbiased investigation and make any and all requisite recommendations,” his statement read. “Upon completion of her work, we will institute new policies and procedures and strengthen our human resources infrastructure to not only avoid these issues in the future but most importantly create a team culture that is respectful and inclusive of all.”
When I was a kid we played 'shirts' vs. 'skins'. It seemed easier back in the day.....
I guess we didn't realize how bad we were discriminating against the other kids without skin.Quote:

Also, a bunch of old bats have claimed the team coaches suggested they wear tiny short dresses when they flew around the field but that's another story.
Bat Lives Matter.
Ahhh the old Epidermis League !!!! [ROFL2]Quote:
