Have you guys read Sally Jenkins response to Dan's letter in the Washington Post? I can't stand her.
Washington Redskins team name: Another letter, the same spirit - The Washington Post

It's like you can't agree to disagree anymore in this country. Some politically correct person has to have the last word.

Never change the name Mr. Snyder, if for no other reason than to continue to piss these kinds of people off!

When it comes time to rally against football and ban it as a sport. Sally will be there rallying against the sport that made her rich.

If they're both so against the name, how about they go work for another paper?

Those two just seem to hate the team. Whatever topic it is with the Skins, they never miss a chance to kill them. Id given Wise about 100 chances, but the Donovan interview was last straw. Sally just sux, never really liked her articles one way or the other.


Quick note on the letter and sports jouranlism, it was really great to see Danny cite Richmond's very own Skins reporter Paul Woody's article and research. Woody always been fair and takes the time to actually do research on sports issues. You would like to think bigger papers would have the better journalist, certainly not in this case. These pieces of sh*t Mike Wise and Jenkins combined dont have the writing talent Paul Woody possesses. I look at the crap today in the big papers, yahoo, bleacher report, etc and its really damn sad as it is pathetic.

If they ever really HAD to change the name we could just be the Skins. DC Skins.

Dan Snyder's letter is new news so it should have been started as a new thread, in my opinion, instead of bumping this one. But it's fine here. Better than in the Dallas Week thread.

But I don't know what you mean about shutting down and starting various name change threads.

I could have started a new thread i suppose. I felt like the letter sort of gave closure because it really put to rest any feelings i had of it being politically incorrect or hurtful. Starting a new thread seemed counter productive to putting it to bed i guess.

In folklore from around the world, dragons bring prosperity to places where they are reverenced. They also are ferocious when crossed. If we MUST change, it sounds like a great mascot to me.

Plus Khaleesi from game of thrones likes dragons and she is smoking hot.

the problem I think of is they would make them get rid of any indian theme all together which I find offensive in itself.

I don't want Washington Redskins stuff to become collectors items I cant get a hold of because I don't have enough money because someone equates it with gay bashing or racism or whatever

Is gay bashing stuff expensive?

I wanna know what kind of glue the person who thought that team name was a good idea was sniffing.

Lol. Worst name ever. Hated it from the get go.
