Re: Dropping the name "Redskins"
I had a couple of thoughts on the name:
To make up for insulting Native Americans, they should be the Washington Palefaces!
But I guess that would be insulting to players that aren't white (they were the last NFL team to have black players I think)?
Maybe The Washington Mashers, considering how they treat women?

Re: Dropping the name "Redskins"
So I am reading about some doctors in Australia calling to rename some body parts like the Adam's apple and achilles tendon because they are irrelevant and misogynistic.
I blame Biker.

Re: Dropping the name "Redskins"
the only one that i have heard that makes any logical sense to me is a drive to change the name of that bridge in Selma, Alabama where the protests back in MLK's day happened. That bridge is currently named after Edmund Winston Pettus, a lawyer, judge, Confederate brigadier general, head of the Alabama Ku Klux Klan, and U.S. senator.
There is a drive to rename it the John Lewis Bridge after the guy that just died. The guy that had his skull fractured on that bridge during a peaceful demonstration in 1965.

Fortunately, all those kinds of folks are Rethugs now, along with the skinheads and other white supremacists. Chump can count on their votes at least.Deathproof wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 6:28 pmThe KKK was founded by Democrats, so Pettus will get a pass.Flumper wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 5:50 pmthe only one that i have heard that makes any logical sense to me is a drive to change the name of that bridge in Selma, Alabama where the protests back in MLK's day happened.

Re: Dropping the name "Redskins"
That is among the most idiotic posts here. The only racist democrats that changed sides are in the state legislatures. The rest kept their affiliation.FSchmertz wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 2:39 amFortunately, all those kinds of folks are Rethugs now, along with the skinheads and other white supremacists.

Re: Dropping the name "Redskins"
Seriously. Any time you mention the HISTORICAL FACT THAT THE DEMOCRATS FOUNDED THE KKK, they're quick to mention a mythological "flip", as if the Republicans suddenly became the racist party when a big crowd of racist democrats changed parties. The truth is that ONE racist democrat switched parties -- likely because he had grown disillusioned with the racism of the democrat party.Antknot wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 2:49 amThat is among the most idiotic posts here.
