Redskins is a name the sunburned people everywhere find offensive. There name should be changed.

I think Gray should change his name, I have heard gray used to describe people of mixed race in a derogatory way.

It's also an epithet that the agist jerks use a lot.

Along with q-tip and geezer.







So offensive.

"Redskins" isn't the offensive part of their name. "Washington" is the offensive part.

Don't put it past the Kenyan to try renaming it. I'll bet you a quarter that it's at least mentioned in the next 4 years by this regime. As if it's name had something to do with there being a White person in it.

The National Palace would go well with the current royal family. As for the Redforeskins - keep the name. Don't cave to the weenie pc crowd.

Yeah, the name should be changed.

Teams names should not be related to any culture.

If we keep it, then no one should mind me naming a team the Darkie McCottonpickers??
