Now I've certainly have been on record that I don't like that name. I do agree Dan Snyder should have the public courage to change it. Now I've heard the argument that most native Americans don't really care that a football team is called "The Redskins". I do on the principle that the word is a pejorative description of a race of people. Just like nigger, spick, mick, wetback, chink, etc. There are other sports teams that use Native American imagery. The Atlanta Braves, The Cleveland Indians, the Chicago Blackhawks, though marginally better, are not pejorative descriptions. So I don't have a problem with singling out the name. You'd never see a New York Niggers if you see my point.
So to that affect I say "The Redskins" gotta go and that we change the name. Now Snyder would probably be smart to see the writing on the wall and as an act of good faith and good business sense and change the name.
So I say we should come up with some different names for Mr. Snyder's team.
My first choice for a Washington DC football team would be the completely appropriate "Washington Red Tapes".
