Dolfan in NYC Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Olbermann did have a great solution. Keep the name, colors, logo, and history, call them the Washington Americans. Everyone wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 BTW - just like the last time this happened, the Redskins can appeal (they won the last time but that was a technicality since it was ruled the case the decision was based on was too old) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the guys from the local radio station called the PTO to ask some questions - and in that conversation, the logo isn't including in today's ruling so that actual could work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I think we all know who Dan Snyder needs to bring in to calm down the issues: In case you don't know who that is, this guy a "a full-blooded American Inuit chief originally from the Aleutian Tribes of Alaska" was on the Skins propaganda show "Redskins nation" with Larry Michael telling us how the name "Redskins" was a term on endearment kind of like the black guys using the N word to each other. It was then found out that the reason he was called "Chief" because it was his nickname at the place he works and the bar. In fact it was debatable on whether he was a Native American to begin with That was the point that I realized that the Skins were completely fucked and should just change the name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Hattrick Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 How about the Washington Maters? Not too smart, falls apart at the slightest movement, and is the world's best backwards driver. Sounds like an apt description for the team and origination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCREW that. Especially, besides the blatant racism, the cynical opportunism that is the history of the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
