    1. @George
      They are brainworm infested vegetables and I have seen some get quite fresh in their posts.
      I can anecdotally confirm the veracity of your statement.

  1. Wait … what’s that sound? I think we just heard Rosemary’s Baby, Donald J. Trump’s head go ‘POP’.

    1. @Billy M. It’s possible to be both politically correct _without_ being anti-intellectual. Your assertion is conflating the two things. When you say things like “none of this” you may want to be more specific. “This” could mean a lot of things. I may agree with you on some cases, but not others.

    2. @JamieLan2011 this isnt about political correctness. It’s about shaming the white man. Shaming the white man went into overdrive when Trump was elected in 2016 because the dems have no other coarse of action to take. None of this existed before. If it did it wasn’t even remotely taken seriously. Aunt Jemima has been cancel for Christ sake. This is anti-intellectual nonsense. Based on nothing but political subversion and manipulation. I feel sorry for colored people. They are being treated like the dems pets. They will do nothing for them in the end.

    3. @Billy M. then you should be ready to vote trump out.. you said it yourself this wasnt a problem till trump happened.. now how ya gonna backpedal on your own words like a typical trumper?

  2. With everything that is happening today this Redskins name was going to come up again and it did, this time the change is going happen.

    1. @Miss Lana. M. Hudson We don’t need Trump to tell us how dumb you liberals are you are doing a good job yourselves. NFL 1920-2020 watch the implosion. By by.

    2. @Name Uhhh… SO the Houston Oilers changed to the Titans.. I hear the Raiders and the Rams changed a couple times too. With your logic, I guess the NFL is doomed. Oh well.

  3. It is about time, the word redskin is such a derogatory word. I can’t believe it’s been around for 80 years. The other teams that uses American Indian as mascots aren’t as bad. The art is bad but at least their names isn’t derogatory.

  4. What name would you like to see?

    The Washington ______________.

    Keep in mind that Boaty McBoatface is already taken.

    1. @John White only snowflakes are the ones crying because they are changing the name as if it effects you at all. your so privileged you look for things to be upset about. loser.

    1. Biden in the basement with dementia afraid to debate lol Dummies like you put him up as front runner….Tulsi was too American….we know you ingrates hate the military & police..wanna replace um with social workers
      lol you lib-brains

  5. If they want to go for alliteration Washington Warriors is a possibility, but I feel Washington Wannabees is more appropriate.

  6. The term “redskin” is not a description of native American natural skin color. It was a derogatory term concocted to describe their blood soaked corpses after the many genocidal massacres carried out by settlers and the military. The name is really, really horrifying and totally sick for a sports team.

    1. I’ve never seen it used as a reference to bloodied corpses. I looked it up in Wikipedia, and there’s nothing about that there; instead, they base it upon other factors. You just invented that malicious idea, Sarabeth, If you want to prove me wrong, then come up with a reference source.

  7. Warriors…come out to play – ay !!! Warriors come out to play -ay !!! WARRIORS COME OUT TO PLAY -AYYYY !!!

  8. The “Washington Warrens”! Lizzys picture could be on the helmet!!!Win,Win! Liberals are happy,Native Americans are happy,Conservatives get a good laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. Simple…change the name to “white skins”, “pink skins”, Caucasian skins…. thank you for taking the name down.
