Redskins "Name Change" Volume 10000000

[Monkeydad]

F...the media and politicians.

They will always be the Redskins. We'll move before the name changes.

Agreed. A Redskins jersey just broke the single-season jersey sales record. The public is not "offended".

A lot of that has to do with RGIII himself but if people were truly insulted and offended, they would not wear a jersey or shirt with the name on it. Also, if he were drafted by the Browns or Jags, sales probably would not be as high because lets be honest, who would want to wear those teams' gear?

It's a big problem when media openly advocates for any cause.

No, they'd treat them like Pro-Constitution, Pro-Gun or Pro-Life supporters with good intentions that aren't on the list of trendy political causes and paint them as racists, even if they're actual Native Americans themselves.

The headline would be "Racism has spread into the Native-American tribes as they support a racist team's name!"

The media has no problem destroying the character of anyone, even if they're so wrong and dishonest about it that they look like complete fools.
